The only impulsive gun handlers I met were those guys who had never been around guns in their young lives.

Yeah. We have to stop those "impulsive" gun uses. The safe storage or trigger lock is just an extension of the "common sense waiting period" for taking home a gun you bought --- as if the time spent going to a gun shop didn't take the "impulsive" out of any action you took with that gun.

Somehow I don't think that's going to happen to all the guns in a household.
Why? Home Defense.
A friend of mine who is a LEO tells the rookies this mantra when they reach a certain point in their training.
"I do keep most my guns locked away but my personal carry is never in stack arms. If it's not on my body then it's loaded but not with a locked round but is still near my reach. That's only when I am in a safe area with other armed comrades. If its on my person it does have a locked round in the chamber and is on safe. Once I take it up I am not taking it off and back on like its a Yo-Yo. It stays on my belt until I'm ready to rest at the end of the day. I never 'forget' about it and it is ever present in my mind.
I am not paranoid. It has 'saved' my life a half dozen times - that's not paranoia. That's the facts that you have to have when you carry a gun as PD or not. It's your responsibility to maintain positive control of your firearm, not a locked box."
He's been in Law Enforcement for 40 years. He has been shot at a couple of dozen times and shot 3 times. In each case there were no indications the perpetrator was going to shoot until he did. Only his immediate response and the ability to do so kept him from being killed by the second, third or fourth bullets - because he never gave them a chance to shoot those rounds. The 3 times he was shot he survived because he kept fighting through the impacts. Two were to his body vest and the third was to his ear.
If there was only one guy to which I had to listen about guns - it would be him.
He is from Israel.
Enough said.
