I carry concealed in California and I don't even have a permit. The way I see it I will get more punishment for using my CCW in self defense than I would just carrying illegaly.
@@col.cottonhill6655 odds are, that is correct. There was an example not too long ago about a man coming home from the gym in California holding a beverage cup, his phone, house keys, his CCW permit, and his personal handgun. As he was trying to enter his home late at night when his wife and baby were asleep, two masked & agile robbers attempt to hop over the private fence and sneak up to the unsuspecting homeowner and rob him at gunpoint. Consequently, the startled man stuns the first criminal and stands his ground firing at both shady individuals. They both scattered away and fired back at the same time. Meanwhile, no casualties ensued. Some days later, the California District Attorney requests the local PD to revoke the man's CCW permit while used ON HIS OWN PRIVATE PROPERTY.
@@col.cottonhill6655 doesn't it even make sense.If you use it in a self-defense, you will get an illegal weapon charge on top on what you would have also gotten had your weapon be legal.
A1S8 of the Constitution gives Congress express authority over training and disciplining the militia, which includes the unorganized militia. So yes, the government can indeed step in and not blindly assume every gun owner is well trained. Bc there is no reason to think that’s the case.
@@AZTECH_AZ How so? Perhaps a way to really drive home such a point or claim, would be to cite the percentages of gun owners who prioritize safety, education, training, responsibility, etc. I can certainly say in my experience as a gun owner, veteran, and ex law enforcement, that most owners I know, do not.
My grown children and my grandchildren were raised around guns and taught very young age about Consequences if you touched a gun of mine without permission. All of them know how to properly handle a vast variety of firearms and how to use them safely. Key to all of this is the word Consequences! Punish the ones breaking the law, leave the lawful alone.

How about enforcing laws already on the books with stiffer penalties? This revolving door of catch and release is ridiculous. Cashless bail, low or no bond hearings that are a joke... I have a couple Chicago cop friends that couldn't be more frustrated. They have told me that they know who will have a gun 80% of the time, say in a traffic accident or routine traffic stop, because they've arrested that person 4-7 times before for possession. They're back on the street in as little as 8hrs.
I'm the 3rd type gun owner you talked about. My kids have been around guns and shooting since they were 7. They are now 20, 20, and 15 years old. No incident has ever happened.
My dad taught me young too, and took me out to the range as often as possible. We also had a family friend and he made it a point to acquaint me with him and encouraged frequent communication between the 2 of us. Nothing like exposure and a nice 2A village 🍻
Same here. We grew up with guns, most of sitting inside my Dad's glass-front gun cabinet in their room, but the shotgun hung over the back door 24/7. Dad was out of town during the week all the time because of his job, so he wanted Mom to be able to defend the home without him there. We all learned what to and what not to do. Us "kids" are all in our sixties now, my sons are in their mid-forties and my grandchildren almost in junior high (their biological Dad is a cop and their step-Dad is my son, he's an Army vet) and we've nary had a single gun incident. Kids learn just like they learn not to touch the hot stove or play in the highway--you teach them.
I live by myself and keep everything I own in a safe. I keep my EDC with me when I’m home and my safe unlocked. I just lock it up when I leave with my EDC so I guess I have a fairly easy routine.
Nor am I not going to tell on here where mine are but they are out of sight and there is no place you can go in my home that there is not a hidden weapon within ten to twenty feet.
@@stripedassape8148 on the fire extinguishers, I removed the original safety wire and replaced it with a basic twist tie, and wrapped it light enough so that anyone in my home can pull it without any struggle- explained it to everyone and tested them. They've also been trained how to use it and drilled on egress while blindfolded. We live 2 hours from the nearest fire and police response.... we're as serious about protecting ourselves from fires as we are about foes, in whatever form they arrive. For sure.
Enjoy your freedoms. Here in Queensland, Australia, if the police turn up to do a “random inspection of storage facilities” (which you must let them enter and do), and they find a loaded firearm lying around (or even just a gun in the open), you WILL have your guns taken, your license cancelled, and you’ll be off to court to see what penalty you get. This very thing happened to a workmate of mine. Police entered and found an unloaded shotgun leaning behind the door. I think he’s still going through legal hassles trying to get his license and guns back.
I was raised in a house with firearm within arm's reach of every door. Yes loaded and ready to lay down hate. I never touched them. My little sister never touched them nor did any of our friends. We were taught that guns weren't toys and that our asses would get beat smooth off if we were ever caught messing with one. Then we were taught why once we were old enough to "put 2 and 2 together." Unfortunately, nowadays you have adults who still can't do that. My home is the same way. You come through the door uninvited you're leaving in a bag. Or bags if it's the 10ga I get to. The house opposite the door it covers is stone so I don't have to worry about the neighbors. My sons were raised the same way. Like Ole "Hoot" says. My index finger is my safety. Stay Safe, love your children keep your guns clean powder dry, and your booger hook off the bang switch til it's time to SEND IT. GOD Bless
I was raised the same way. It has been the best constant in my life, paid off twice. Who ever made this law is the stupidest person ever born, to say the least.
Gotta make sure any unused car is locked inside a garage, with an additional steering wheel lock, and all the fuel removed and stored in a separate locked garage away from the garage the car is locked in.
The reality is that it’s never been about guns, it’s always been about our right to self defense. This being the most effective (necessary in today’s world) means of self defense. I cannot overstate the importance of proper framing. They want us def enseless altogether… If we defend the gun itself, we lose. If we make a moral case for our right to preserve our lives and force them into defending the immoral position of actively putting our family’s wellbeing at risk, we win
@@Mere-Lachaiselongueright. And it’s not about the gun. They will pers ecute you if you push the wrong person off of you and they fall and break their arm or something
The main reason behind the second amendment is to defend ourselves against a corrupt government, and well, after the recent TFA raid that left airport executive, Bryan Keith Malinowski, dead, it's looking more and more like our guns will be useless if the government decides to want to finally go all in.
More than half of all gun deaths in America are suicides. Research shows that suicide is most often an impulse decision, and anything that delays the carrying out of that decision will allow the person to come to their senses and realize that they should not harm themself. Men successfully commit suicide more often than women even though women attempt suicide more often. This is primarily because men choose more immediately lethal methods to commit the act, such as shooting oneself. Over half of all suicide deaths in America are by firearm. This is again because it's pretty hard to survive a gunshot wound to the head, whereas other methods the person can survive long enough to receive medical care. If the gun is locked in a safe, if the ammo is stored separately, these delays to access are long enough to cause a person to stop their attempt. This is the same reasoning behind mandatory waiting periods and people committing impulse crime of passion murders with guns. These laws factually lead to less deaths. The next thing to consider is that not everyone has the same priorities. For some people, guns are their big issue when they vote. For some, it's abortion, others it could be immigration or the economy and on and on. So if some people are not huge on gun ownership or don't experience much violent crime, they can very easily choose to support this kind of legislation on gun control over free access. You cannot have a civil discourse with people and effectively govern a country when you do not even understand why they hold a certain belief. Perpetuating this idea that gun control is a conspiracy to enslave the populace rather than different people just having different priorities and voting based on those priorities is a prime example of why America is so divisive and dysfunctional today. Your political opponents are rational human beings just like you, they just have different viewpoints and priorities. They are not conspiracy theory cartoon villains.
also remember that the police legally have no obligation to protect you as an individual citizen in the absence of some kind of special relationship. this was first decided in the 1855 SCOTUS case South v. Maryland, and it was reaffirmed numerous times, with the three other most notable cases being warren v. District of Columbia (DC court of appeals, 1981), which actually involved a home invasion scenario, town of castlerock v. Gonzales (SCOTUS, 2005) which involved police enforcement of restraining orders and established precedent used in this next case, and Lozito v. New York City (supreme court of New York, 2013) which involved a victim of the 2012 new york subway stabbing spree.

the BEST firearms education I got was in Army Basic Training when we were taught that "you are responsible" for the securing your firearm and if you don't, the enemy can and WILL use it against you. Penalties in Basic Training for when your Drill Sergeant confiscates your firearm because you walked away from it because of chow time are severe.... 😳
Using the GC safe storage laws this is the scenario. (1) Someone is at my door threatening to kick my door in, (2) go to my gun storage safe, (3) open my unloaded firearm safe, (4) remove my unloaded firearm from safe, (5) proceed to my ammunition safe, (6) open my ammunition safe, (7) retrieve my magazine, speed loader, etc, (8) proceed to load firearm and chamber a round in the firearm. (9) You are now ready to protect the lives of you or your loved ones. Does all of these steps make sense when seconds count? HECK NO! It would take too long!
We do NOT want nor need government mandates. If you required gun ownership, what about the person who adamantly does not want one, which is their right? Forcing someone to own a gun who doesn’t want it *could* make them and those around them less safe because they’re less likely to get the training and knowledge needed to be safe with it. And mandates like for “safe” storage has the potential to get the gun owner killed. Neither type of mandate makes anyone safer. So my anti-mandate stance goes both for pro-2A and anti-2A mandates. Just keep the government out of my business. Period!
It's been done. Oddly, it hasn't resulted in any more crime (or much less, but there hadn't been much) but - equally oddly - it hasn't been forwarded anywhere else of which I'm aware.
I agree. To amplify…It’s the, “I’m smarter and superior to you; therefore, I will decide what’s best for every aspect of your life” syndrome. The elitist who think we’re too stupid to manage our own life. Old as time. Kings and dictators have been doing it for millennia. We’re just dealing with the current version during our lifetime. The question is, what are we going to leave to our descendants?
@@sax5055 This is nonsense, they just pretend they're this kind of people so they fool most, and those then think they're smarter. If they truly were smart instead of just pretending, they would fully support 2A.
Completely agree with you. It is NO ONE's business what goes on in my home. My children ( youngest is now 36) were taught gun safety from the time they were toddlers. My grandkids have had the same education.
I was just thinking that. Do they think that this will allow them to just waltz into your house ,that will be a violation of the constitution. Of course these people believe the constitution doesn't apply to them, they are above following the constitution.
I have lived in Minnesota all of my life. The legislature passed a child endangerment law 25 plus years ago here that gun shops had to post for customers to see. They passed the universal background check here last year. They are tightening the noose and these laws do not affect criminals. Thanks for your diligence. I'm sharing with everyone I know.
My kids are grown and have long since moved away. My carry pistol is either on my belt or my nightstand. I also keep an AR ready to go when home. There was a time I thought keeping a rifle at the ready was a bit much, but not anymore. Last I checked I pay the bills I make the rules its my house.
Thank to your RUclips and along with some co workers, i recently got my Texas LTC. A year ago i was anti 2A. Guns are absolutely safe in the right hands. Love carrying now ( hope i never have to use tho )
It is afe to say nobody even hopes to be in a situation requiring the use of a firearm. Just like nobody wants to be in an auto accident or have their house burn down just because they have an insurance policy.
I agree with you completely. The only way for them to be able to enforce this is to have records of who owns firearms and be able to illegally enter your home whenever they feel like it to ensure that you are complying.
love that you actually provide proof as to why you think the way you do personally using events that actually happened makes it really hard to discredit you even though one would be a fool to attempt to
Imagine thinking that your own self defense is someone else’s responsibility. Imagine a politician surrounded by armed security telling you that you don’t need a firearm. Imagine being so easily manipulated that you think it’s a good idea to give up 1 AND 2A. IMAGINE VOTING BLUE.
We have these same laws in New Zealand, and you're required to pass regular inspections of your gun storage to make sure you're following the law. To even get a gun license, you need to pass a gun storage inspection. So you need to have some form of safe gun storage *before you can even buy a gun,* increasing the buy-in cost to even be allowed to get a gun. Keeping in mind we're not even allowed to use a gun for self defense because of "reasonable force" caveats in our self defense laws, but regardless... Better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.
“Safe storage” means ensuring everyone in your home understands firearm safety. The gun is no more dangerous than any number of household items, you teach your kids how to use the stove safely you do the same thing with firearms.
In states with "safe storage laws", cops will show up for a domestic disturbance or bring a knucklehead preteen home. The adults allow the cops in, and if a gun is observed, they arrest the adult. It has happened before.
I 100% agree with you Mr. Noir.. my teenage son whom I've taught how to use, and the importance of the basic rules of handling a firearm, has been home alone a lot in recent years. I went over all scenarios I could think of and how& when to defend himself with my firearm.
I live in australia where we have safe storage laws one of the main issues is that safes often have to bolted to the structure something renters often can't do.
I had a relative of a co-worker suffer a brutal assault in his home because he had purchased a Smith&Wesson model 657 357 magnum revolver with integral key-operated action lock for his home defense weapon and he was required by his state's law to have it locked when left unattended. When he awoke to find 2 men inside his home one night, he was unable to locate his gun key in the darkened room, rendering the loaded gun useless. So I am totally against ANY mandated "safe storage" or "action lock" requirements.... EVAH!!
Minnesota guy here, no kids around, 2 German Shepherds outside and a Terrier inside. I do not need my guns in one safe and my ammo in another. Crazy stuff, I don't want my guns stolen so most are locked in heavy safes bolted to floor and walls. I rarely leave home for more than an hour and when I do there is another adult here, WHY do I need to be told how to store my self defense...
Safe storage lockers require multiple ways of opening it. Batteries can wear out causing fingerprint readers to be inoperable. The best are with keys - combinations & fingerprint readers. Hornady gun safes have a remote APP opener.
I wanna hear just how they plan to verify if anyone would be actually following these "safe storage laws." That part problem will concern me more than the actual law. They must have some way they plan to circumvent the 4th amendment to enforce compliance.
I have 2 daughters and I taught them how to safety handle guns and how to shoot since they were around 5 years old. The problems happen when kids get curious about guns. I don’t leave them sitting around my house visible to everyone and all but 3 are locked up but they also know not to touch any firearm whether its at my house or anybody’s house they are at. I take them shooting often so they are very familiar with guns and the next step is teaching them how to disassemble and clean them. Its all about being a responsible gun owner! Like you said, everybody’s situation is different and nobody should tell us what to do! Love your videos!! I always rock my “girl dad” hoodie and everyone loves it..I need the t-shirt next lol
Safe storage laws are against the 4th amendment as well. Cops just cant search your home because you are exercising their rights. So I am completely against them. Now that being said, I haven no children, but if my 4 year old niece were to ever visit, she's very well behaved, so I doubt anything would happen. My guns are in hidden spots out of her reach. However, depending on how long she would be over, I would teach her very basic firearm safety. I would just say "this is a gun. It is not a toy. You ALWAYS treat a gun as if it is loaded, until you have made sure it is unloaded. Even then, you never point a gun at someone or something that you are not willing to destroy."
When I was a kid I knew where my Dad's unlocked rifle was and where his unlocked police service revolver was, and never messed with them because I was taught better. He and my grandfather taught me how to shoot and respect guns.
Colion, on point. This sounds like a feel good bill. People feel good because on the surface, it sounds good when in reality, the bill causes many more problems that it solves!
i find it ironic how a container to hold firearms with is called a “safe” when it really does the opposite. what if some bad guy with a gun or knife tries breaking into my house and successfully gets in?
I told a CPL instructor I don't trust those thumbprint safes. He said they're just as quick to get to in an emergency. As he demonstrated... it didn't work.
Anything that requires electrical power is a no-no, unless perhaps it can be given enough juice to operate with an internal dynamo operated by a crank or reciprocating plunger. Even then, I don't trust it to be reliable.
In NYC where I live, you had to store your pistol in a locked box, with a trigger lock, in a locked closet or safe. Try defending yourself under those conditions if someone is trying to break into your home. You could be wounded or dead before you find the keys to unlock everything. They finally allowed the home owner to keep it unlocked while you’re in the home.
Exactly. If the gun is in a locked home or car, it's securely stored. Having a safe is just extra. This boils down to; 'Hinder/discourage law abiding gun owners and protecting our criminal constituency.' Funny how they're so protective of criminals and so happy to divert the consequences of criminal actions on to someone other than the criminal who is actually the one committing the crime. Almost like it's criminals writing the laws.
I've raised 2 boys to adulthood and never locked my guns. They were taught from the time they could walk not to play with them. They helped me clean the guns from probably age 3 on. At that age if you asked them if the gun was loaded or not, they would say it is always loaded unless dad clears it.
Thanks Colin you do good work. I grew up on a farm. We had multiple fire arms. No safes no trigger locks. The single shot 22lr bolt action was kept on the back porch. Breach open but a handful of shells beside it. No one worried about safety, because they didn’t need to. Back then we were raised with common sense. With respect for our elders. When my dad said you don’t touch that without his permission. We didn’t period. Granted I am 57 and that was a much better time. The kids today frighten and disgust me. 😢
00:45 she wants to reduce Minnesotans shot with a gun then claims she does not want to take away your guns. What a line of BS. I will say this a locked gun is a useless gun.
This will just increase crime and make it almost impossible to get the gun when someone breaks in. How do they plan to enforce it anyways? They can’t just come into your house to see if you have it “safely” stored.
Realistically how does this directly increase crime? Correlation does not equal causation and even then, there’s no way to actually prove that it increased crime. Crime theory is so nuanced, it’s ignorant of people to make these generalizations. If anything it only affects the gun owners, a criminal has no incentive to commit crime more because people were told to lock their guns up at home. Most people that own guns made their own decision to get one, and reading all these comments all those gun owners are still making their own decision to not lock up their guns for their own safety as to why they got a firearm in the first place. If anything, criminals are in for a rude awakening thinking citizens are gonna lock up their guns because of a law that can’t be constitutionally enforced.
@@jaytypeshi What I mean is it will be easier for criminals to take advantage over gun owners when the guns have to be locked up. I think hidden storage is better than locked up storage. Hidden storage can have quick access but be hard for random people to locate.
I was just in Minnesota, the Twin Cities, a few days ago. I couldn't carry or have my firearm with me because there's no reciprocity with my home state's permit. The place is a dump. Won't be returning if I can keep from it.
We got them here in Washington too, no big surprise. Thankfully, our sheriff in our county outright stated that they're not going to enforce this bit of Seattle's horseshit. Thank god too, as either this would of been a massive 4th amendment violation, or what I like to call a 'tack on' charge, where they only exist to stack on more penalties for an unrelated crime.
The safe storage law wasn't even needed in Minnesota. It was already illegal to negligently store firearms where children could access them. It's going to deprive Minnesotans of their ability to defend their homes though.
I live in Minnesota. I am really tired of the democratic stranglehold on state government, and will be moving away as soon as I retire from my working life. The house speakers assurance that she doesn’t want to take our guns away is ridiculous. But criminalizing an otherwise legal behavior will work just as well in their view.
I agree with everything said here. That said, after recently purchasing my first firearm I was a little shocked to learn that for every official purchase of a gun from licensed dealer, your purchase has to go through the ATF essentially. Isn't that basically the same thing as a firearm registry?
Thank you for standing up for our rights and trying to make sense of this crazy world we live in! I have been subscribed to your channel for a while, but this is my first comment. I keep all of my guns secured except for the one on my nightstand. BTW...I live by myself and my Rottweiler. Moving next year but will continue to store my weapons safely when not in use, to me that just makes sense. However, I do not need the Government to tell me how, when or why to store my guns and then threaten me if I do not follow their rules. Thanks again Colion!
In the midst of about a dozen unconstitutional gun laws being reviewed, our Colorado esteemed legislature decided not to make gun theft a felony. They are OK with making gun owners (the victim) a criminal if a gun is stolen, but decided the person stealing the gun is not felon.
Totally agree with each of your arguments AGAISNT 'safe storage laws'. All gun owners should practice safe storage. But we DO NOT need the government involved.
When I was growing up there was a loaded gun in just about every room of our home, family gatherings, Sunday dinners, kids everywhere year after year and no one ever got hurt. Everyone knew they were there and kids didn't touch the guns unless they we're instructed to. But then we we taught about guns and gun safety before we could even walk.

Us "kids" are all in our sixties now, my sons are in their mid-forties and my grandchildren almost in junior high (their biological Dad is a cop and their step-Dad is my son, he's an Army vet) and we've nary had a single gun incident. Kids learn just like they learn not to touch the hot stove or play in the highway--you teach them.
You're a great father.
Good for you. I taught my son at age 4
Grew up with guns and they have never spontaneously attacked anyone!
Colion, you need to run for Congress and educate those lefties and anti-gun ranks.
A safe person is safe with his gun. Not locking my guns away.
I live by myself and keep everything I own in a safe. I keep my EDC with me when I’m home and my safe unlocked. I just lock it up when I leave with my EDC so I guess I have a fairly easy routine.
I have an RFID-enabled safe for my home defense gun.
@@Leitis_Fella Not me it takes precious seconds to open them, seconds that may be the difference between life and death
Nor am I not going to tell on here where mine are but they are out of sight and there is no place you can go in my home that there is not a hidden weapon within ten to twenty feet.
I agree. My home, my person, and my vehicle are safe storage areas. A person would have to commit felonies to enter those areas and remove a firearm.
Thankfully, my IWB holster identifies as a safe.
My firearms are always in what I call a "ready and safe" condition. In my home, there is no other option. We will not be "infringed."
Exactly you wouldnt lock up your fire extinguishers✌
Here also!
@@stripedassape8148 on the fire extinguishers, I removed the original safety wire and replaced it with a basic twist tie, and wrapped it light enough so that anyone in my home can pull it without any struggle- explained it to everyone and tested them. They've also been trained how to use it and drilled on egress while blindfolded. We live 2 hours from the nearest fire and police response.... we're as serious about protecting ourselves from fires as we are about foes, in whatever form they arrive. For sure.
wait, they said "if it's not being used"...🤔we are always using "them" to stay safe in this house. the word "used" needs to be defined.
Enjoy your freedoms. Here in Queensland, Australia, if the police turn up to do a “random inspection of storage facilities” (which you must let them enter and do), and they find a loaded firearm lying around (or even just a gun in the open), you WILL have your guns taken, your license cancelled, and you’ll be off to court to see what penalty you get. This very thing happened to a workmate of mine. Police entered and found an unloaded shotgun leaning behind the door. I think he’s still going through legal hassles trying to get his license and guns back.
That should be the responsibility of the owner of the home, not the government.
I was raised in a house with firearm within arm's reach of every door. Yes loaded and ready to lay down hate. I never touched them. My little sister never touched them nor did any of our friends. We were taught that guns weren't toys and that our asses would get beat smooth off if we were ever caught messing with one.
Then we were taught why once we were old enough to "put 2 and 2 together." Unfortunately, nowadays you have adults who still can't do that.
My home is the same way. You come through the door uninvited you're leaving in a bag. Or bags if it's the 10ga I get to. The house opposite the door it covers is stone so I don't have to worry about the neighbors.
My sons were raised the same way. Like Ole "Hoot" says. My index finger is my safety.
Stay Safe, love your children keep your guns clean powder dry, and your booger hook off the bang switch til it's time to SEND IT.
GOD Bless
God bless Norm “hoot” Hooten. 1st SFOD-D. Never shall I fail my comrades……

I was raised in a similar household. That’s why there’s a cannon mounted to the top of the stairs loaded with grapeshot. 😅
I was raised the same way. It has been the best constant in my life, paid off twice. Who ever made this law is the stupidest person ever born, to say the least.
These laws, like so many others, are not about safety. Their intended purpose is to make owning, possessing and buying a gun more difficult.
Useless? Yes! Government overreach? DEFINITELY!!!!
Gotta make sure any unused car is locked inside a garage, with an additional steering wheel lock, and all the fuel removed and stored in a separate locked garage away from the garage the car is locked in.
The reality is that it’s never been about guns, it’s always been about our right to self defense. This being the most effective (necessary in today’s world) means of self defense. I cannot overstate the importance of proper framing.
They want us def enseless altogether… If we defend the gun itself, we lose. If we make a moral case for our right to preserve our lives and force them into defending the immoral position of actively putting our family’s wellbeing at risk, we win
Here in Sweden ur not allowed to defend urself either as you will get fined and most likely sent to jail and then prison.
@@Mere-Lachaiselongueright. And it’s not about the gun. They will pers ecute you if you push the wrong person off of you and they fall and break their arm or something
The main reason behind the second amendment is to defend ourselves against a corrupt government, and well, after the recent TFA raid that left airport executive, Bryan Keith Malinowski, dead, it's looking more and more like our guns will be useless if the government decides to want to finally go all in.
More than half of all gun deaths in America are suicides. Research shows that suicide is most often an impulse decision, and anything that delays the carrying out of that decision will allow the person to come to their senses and realize that they should not harm themself. Men successfully commit suicide more often than women even though women attempt suicide more often. This is primarily because men choose more immediately lethal methods to commit the act, such as shooting oneself. Over half of all suicide deaths in America are by firearm. This is again because it's pretty hard to survive a gunshot wound to the head, whereas other methods the person can survive long enough to receive medical care. If the gun is locked in a safe, if the ammo is stored separately, these delays to access are long enough to cause a person to stop their attempt. This is the same reasoning behind mandatory waiting periods and people committing impulse crime of passion murders with guns.
These laws factually lead to less deaths. The next thing to consider is that not everyone has the same priorities. For some people, guns are their big issue when they vote. For some, it's abortion, others it could be immigration or the economy and on and on. So if some people are not huge on gun ownership or don't experience much violent crime, they can very easily choose to support this kind of legislation on gun control over free access.
You cannot have a civil discourse with people and effectively govern a country when you do not even understand why they hold a certain belief. Perpetuating this idea that gun control is a conspiracy to enslave the populace rather than different people just having different priorities and voting based on those priorities is a prime example of why America is so divisive and dysfunctional today. Your political opponents are rational human beings just like you, they just have different viewpoints and priorities. They are not conspiracy theory cartoon villains.
also remember that the police legally have no obligation to protect you as an individual citizen in the absence of some kind of special relationship. this was first decided in the 1855 SCOTUS case South v. Maryland, and it was reaffirmed numerous times, with the three other most notable cases being warren v. District of Columbia (DC court of appeals, 1981), which actually involved a home invasion scenario, town of castlerock v. Gonzales (SCOTUS, 2005) which involved police enforcement of restraining orders and established precedent used in this next case, and Lozito v. New York City (supreme court of New York, 2013) which involved a victim of the 2012 new york subway stabbing spree.
I drive a pre-emissions car. I burn a pre-emissions woodstove. I have a natural gas range. I have mini-blinds with strings. My lawn mower has zero safety devices. My guns are where I want them. I'm an outlaw, on a steel horse I ride and I'm wanted, waaannnteeed... dead or alive.

the BEST firearms education I got was in Army Basic Training when we were taught that "you are responsible" for the securing your firearm and if you don't, the enemy can and WILL use it against you.

Using the GC safe storage laws this is the scenario. (1) Someone is at my door threatening to kick my door in, (2) go to my gun storage safe, (3) open my unloaded firearm safe, (4) remove my unloaded firearm from safe, (5) proceed to my ammunition safe, (6) open my ammunition safe, (7) retrieve my magazine, speed loader, etc, (8) proceed to load firearm and chamber a round in the firearm. (9) You are now ready to protect the lives of you or your loved ones. Does all of these steps make sense when seconds count? HECK NO! It would take too long!
We need to push back, Can we have someone propose a bill that mandates Gun ownership?
I like the direction 👍 Maybe even having purchasing a gun safe is allowed to be a tax write-off or something.
We do NOT want nor need government mandates. If you required gun ownership, what about the person who adamantly does not want one, which is their right? Forcing someone to own a gun who doesn’t want it *could* make them and those around them less safe because they’re less likely to get the training and knowledge needed to be safe with it. And mandates like for “safe” storage has the potential to get the gun owner killed. Neither type of mandate makes anyone safer. So my anti-mandate stance goes both for pro-2A and anti-2A mandates. Just keep the government out of my business. Period!
@bananafoneable
It's already been done. Look up Kennesaw, Georgia.
It's been done. Oddly, it hasn't resulted in any more crime (or much less, but there hadn't been much) but - equally oddly - it hasn't been forwarded anywhere else of which I'm aware.

@@NotEvenDeathCanSaveU it’s not the same as far as framing our arguments goes
Completely agree with you. It is NO ONE's business what goes on in my home. My children ( youngest is now 36) were taught gun safety from the time they were toddlers. My grandkids have had the same education.
Lol how are they gonna enforce this? Cops gonna randomly inspect your guns?
I was just thinking that. Do they think that this will allow them to just waltz into your house ,that will be a violation of the constitution. Of course these people believe the constitution doesn't apply to them, they are above following the constitution.
Of course, my reply was removed. Sorry to offend the overlords
There is no legal enforcement of this law without violating the 4th amendment.
That will be the next bill

I have lived in Minnesota all of my life. The legislature passed a child endangerment law 25 plus years ago here that gun shops had to post for customers to see. They passed the universal background check here last year. They are tightening the noose and these laws do not affect criminals. Thanks for your diligence. I'm sharing with everyone I know.
My kids are grown and have long since moved away. My carry pistol is either on my belt or my nightstand. I also keep an AR ready to go when home. There was a time I thought keeping a rifle at the ready was a bit much, but not anymore. Last I checked I pay the bills I make the rules its my house.
Keep fighting the good fight Colion! You are one of the best voices in the community.
Define "being used." we are always using them in this house.
Thank to your RUclips and along with some co workers, i recently got my Texas LTC. A year ago i was anti 2A. Guns are absolutely safe in the right hands. Love carrying now ( hope i never have to use tho )
Welcome, neighbor, from the great state of Oklahoma, just across the river!

Might as well be a paper weight. Teach your children well
I agree with you completely. The only way for them to be able to enforce this is to have records of who owns firearms and be able to illegally enter your home whenever they feel like it to ensure that you are complying.
Just a way to add charges onto something that is already a no-no.
love that you actually provide proof as to why you think the way you do personally using events that actually happened makes it really hard to discredit you even though one would be a fool to attempt to
It should be taught in school like "stop, drop and roll" or CPR. Dealing with dangerous situations should not be something to be ignorant about.
Imagine thinking that your own self defense is someone else’s responsibility. Imagine a politician surrounded by armed security telling you that you don’t need a firearm. Imagine being so easily manipulated that you think it’s a good idea to give up 1 AND 2A. IMAGINE VOTING BLUE.
If you can teach a child not to touch a hot stove. You can teach them not to touch a firearm. It's that simple ...
We have these same laws in New Zealand, and you're required to pass regular inspections of your gun storage to make sure you're following the law. To even get a gun license, you need to pass a gun storage inspection. So you need to have some form of safe gun storage *before you can even buy a gun,* increasing the buy-in cost to even be allowed to get a gun.
Keeping in mind we're not even allowed to use a gun for self defense because of "reasonable force" caveats in our self defense laws, but regardless... Better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.
“Safe storage” means ensuring everyone in your home understands firearm safety. The gun is no more dangerous than any number of household items, you teach your kids how to use the stove safely you do the same thing with firearms.
Never know when it could grow a brain, arms, and legs!
-Liberal logic.
How would they even know? What are they going to do? Go into everyone’s home with no warrant to check everyone’s firearms?
Without a warrant, how are they going to check and see who is following this travesty of the 2nd ammendment?
When you use it in a self-defense situation, it will automatically tell the police that it was loaded.
@@lhistoireenvideo5877 Your word against theirs. They have no way of knowing if you had it loaded or not...
In states with "safe storage laws", cops will show up for a domestic disturbance or bring a knucklehead preteen home. The adults allow the cops in, and if a gun is observed, they arrest the adult. It has happened before.
I 100% agree with you Mr. Noir.. my teenage son whom I've taught how to use, and the importance of the basic rules of handling a firearm, has been home alone a lot in recent years. I went over all scenarios I could think of and how& when to defend himself with my firearm.
F... safe storage laws, I will take care of my own thank you !
I live in australia where we have safe storage laws one of the main issues is that safes often have to bolted to the structure something renters often can't do.
Safe storage, I'm all for it. Mandated safe storage, nah.
I had a relative of a co-worker suffer a brutal assault in his home because he had purchased a Smith&Wesson model 657 357 magnum revolver with integral key-operated action lock for his home defense weapon and he was required by his state's law to have it locked when left unattended. When he awoke to find 2 men inside his home one night, he was unable to locate his gun key in the darkened room, rendering the loaded gun useless.
So I am totally against ANY mandated "safe storage" or "action lock" requirements.... EVAH!!
Nobody's business how guns are kept in their home.
Minnesota guy here, no kids around, 2 German Shepherds outside and a Terrier inside. I do not need my guns in one safe and my ammo in another. Crazy stuff, I don't want my guns stolen so most are locked in heavy safes bolted to floor and walls. I rarely leave home for more than an hour and when I do there is another adult here, WHY do I need to be told how to store my self defense...
Useless Law.
Safe storage lockers require multiple ways of opening it. Batteries can wear out causing fingerprint readers to be inoperable. The best are with keys - combinations & fingerprint readers. Hornady gun safes have a remote APP opener.
I wanna hear just how they plan to verify if anyone would be actually following these "safe storage laws." That part problem will concern me more than the actual law. They must have some way they plan to circumvent the 4th amendment to enforce compliance.
For all these lawmakers and politicians, when will they learn criminals don't follow laws.
They are also an infringement
No one should be able to tell another where they can store their property on their property.
I hearby deam ALL my weapons "in use" constantly, at ALL the times.
"Armed in being"
"In use of deterrence"
I have 2 daughters and I taught them how to safety handle guns and how to shoot since they were around 5 years old. The problems happen when kids get curious about guns. I don’t leave them sitting around my house visible to everyone and all but 3 are locked up but they also know not to touch any firearm whether its at my house or anybody’s house they are at. I take them shooting often so they are very familiar with guns and the next step is teaching them how to disassemble and clean them. Its all about being a responsible gun owner! Like you said, everybody’s situation is different and nobody should tell us what to do! Love your videos!! I always rock my “girl dad” hoodie and everyone loves it..I need the t-shirt next lol
Safe storage laws are against the 4th amendment as well. Cops just cant search your home because you are exercising their rights. So I am completely against them. Now that being said, I haven no children, but if my 4 year old niece were to ever visit, she's very well behaved, so I doubt anything would happen. My guns are in hidden spots out of her reach. However, depending on how long she would be over, I would teach her very basic firearm safety. I would just say "this is a gun. It is not a toy. You ALWAYS treat a gun as if it is loaded, until you have made sure it is unloaded. Even then, you never point a gun at someone or something that you are not willing to destroy."
When I was a kid I knew where my Dad's unlocked rifle was and where his unlocked police service revolver was, and never messed with them because I was taught better. He and my grandfather taught me how to shoot and respect guns.
Do not comply people
How are they going to enforce it if it passes? Go door to door with a warrant? What judge would sign off on said warrant?
No to safe storage laws
Colion, on point. This sounds like a feel good bill. People feel good because on the surface, it sounds good when in reality, the bill causes many more problems that it solves!
It's not safe if you need to use it!
i find it ironic how a container to hold firearms with is called a “safe” when it really does the opposite. what if some bad guy with a gun or knife tries breaking into my house and successfully gets in?
Simple one word. NO
Good points Colion. As to parents with kids, the Crumbley trials teach us a lesson: if your kid has mental issues, better keep your guns locked up.
I told a CPL instructor I don't trust those thumbprint safes. He said they're just as quick to get to in an emergency. As he demonstrated... it didn't work.
Anything that requires electrical power is a no-no, unless perhaps it can be given enough juice to operate with an internal dynamo operated by a crank or reciprocating plunger. Even then, I don't trust it to be reliable.
Shouldn’t all cars be stored in a garage with a security system so nobody could steal it and commit a crime.
In NYC where I live, you had to store your pistol in a locked box, with a trigger lock, in a locked closet or safe. Try defending yourself under those conditions if someone is trying to break into your home. You could be wounded or dead before you find the keys to unlock everything. They finally allowed the home owner to keep it unlocked while you’re in the home.
Stop telling lies ! That is not true ! There is no safe storage law law in NY city
Exactly. If the gun is in a locked home or car, it's securely stored. Having a safe is just extra.
This boils down to; 'Hinder/discourage law abiding gun owners and protecting our criminal constituency.' Funny how they're so protective of criminals and so happy to divert the consequences of criminal actions on to someone other than the criminal who is actually the one committing the crime. Almost like it's criminals writing the laws.
I've raised 2 boys to adulthood and never locked my guns. They were taught from the time they could walk not to play with them. They helped me clean the guns from probably age 3 on. At that age if you asked them if the gun was loaded or not, they would say it is always loaded unless dad clears it.
Will I someday have to conceal carry with a trigger lock on my pistol?🤔🤣🤣
Don’t give the demorats any ideas
Thanks Colin you do good work. I grew up on a farm. We had multiple fire arms. No safes no trigger locks. The single shot 22lr bolt action was kept on the back porch. Breach open but a handful of shells beside it. No one worried about safety, because they didn’t need to. Back then we were raised with common sense. With respect for our elders. When my dad said you don’t touch that without his permission. We didn’t period. Granted I am 57 and that was a much better time. The kids today frighten and disgust me. 😢
I’m 100% for safe store. But no laws should mandate it. F the government
00:45 she wants to reduce Minnesotans shot with a gun then claims she does not want to take away your guns. What a line of BS. I will say this a locked gun is a useless gun.
This will just increase crime and make it almost impossible to get the gun when someone breaks in. How do they plan to enforce it anyways? They can’t just come into your house to see if you have it “safely” stored.
Realistically how does this directly increase crime? Correlation does not equal causation and even then, there’s no way to actually prove that it increased crime. Crime theory is so nuanced, it’s ignorant of people to make these generalizations. If anything it only affects the gun owners, a criminal has no incentive to commit crime more because people were told to lock their guns up at home. Most people that own guns made their own decision to get one, and reading all these comments all those gun owners are still making their own decision to not lock up their guns for their own safety as to why they got a firearm in the first place. If anything, criminals are in for a rude awakening thinking citizens are gonna lock up their guns because of a law that can’t be constitutionally enforced.
@@jaytypeshi What I mean is it will be easier for criminals to take advantage over gun owners when the guns have to be locked up. I think hidden storage is better than locked up storage. Hidden storage can have quick access but be hard for random people to locate.
I was just in Minnesota, the Twin Cities, a few days ago. I couldn't carry or have my firearm with me because there's no reciprocity with my home state's permit. The place is a dump. Won't be returning if I can keep from it.
We got them here in Washington too, no big surprise. Thankfully, our sheriff in our county outright stated that they're not going to enforce this bit of Seattle's horseshit. Thank god too, as either this would of been a massive 4th amendment violation, or what I like to call a 'tack on' charge, where they only exist to stack on more penalties for an unrelated crime.
I completely agree. I put great thought into how I store/stage my guns and it’s nobody’s business but mine.
I don’t live in Minnesota, but I unfortunately live in Commifornia. My home…My business. I have my guns unlocked, at arms reach, racked & loaded.
The safe storage law wasn't even needed in Minnesota. It was already illegal to negligently store firearms where children could access them. It's going to deprive Minnesotans of their ability to defend their homes though.
In Australia safe storage is a requirement but really it only delays criminals...
I live in Minnesota. I am really tired of the democratic stranglehold on state government, and will be moving away as soon as I retire from my working life. The house speakers assurance that she doesn’t want to take our guns away is ridiculous. But criminalizing an otherwise legal behavior will work just as well in their view.
I agree with everything said here. That said, after recently purchasing my first firearm I was a little shocked to learn that for every official purchase of a gun from licensed dealer, your purchase has to go through the ATF essentially. Isn't that basically the same thing as a firearm registry?
Thank you for standing up for our rights and trying to make sense of this crazy world we live in! I have been subscribed to your channel for a while, but this is my first comment. I keep all of my guns secured except for the one on my nightstand. BTW...I live by myself and my Rottweiler. Moving next year but will continue to store my weapons safely when not in use, to me that just makes sense. However, I do not need the Government to tell me how, when or why to store my guns and then threaten me if I do not follow their rules. Thanks again Colion!
In the midst of about a dozen unconstitutional gun laws being reviewed, our Colorado esteemed legislature decided not to make gun theft a felony. They are OK with making gun owners (the victim) a criminal if a gun is stolen, but decided the person stealing the gun is not felon.
Totally agree with each of your arguments AGAISNT 'safe storage laws'. All gun owners should practice safe storage. But we DO NOT need the government involved.
When I was growing up there was a loaded gun in just about every room of our home, family gatherings, Sunday dinners, kids everywhere year after year and no one ever got hurt. Everyone knew they were there and kids didn't touch the guns unless they we're instructed to. But then we we taught about guns and gun safety before we could even walk.
