All the criminals wait for me to unlock and load a shotgun, they’re real amenable about that sort of thing.
I don’t disagree at all with this statement, that is the reason I keep a bayonet at the end of my shotgun.
A secured firearm Is a good idea, that said a locked away firearm is useless in any meaningful self defense action. Secure ≠ locked
This is a privilege for Americans, unfortunately as a Canadian if I were to draw my shotgun or rifle upon someone breaking into my house I need to prove there was a threat to life and that it was not just an attempt at theft, otherwise the courts may deem my force excessive.

This is how the states work, I’m in a deep red state and if your defense is “they were stealing” you’ll go to jail for murder. You have to believe your life was in danger and a jury has to agree
I mean people are mistaken about that here too the same is true the lines are just increasingly blurred. Technically speaking it is not legal to use deadly force against a thief, there needs to be a reasonable fear of bodily injury for yourself or anyone else for that matter. If someone breaks in and you’re safe and you know they’re just taking stuff you can’t pop out and start blasting.
