(they follow transactions very carefully) big trouble.
I am glad
you have your guns safely stored. But... if you ever feel like you
might need them during the night where do you leave them?
Accessible hopefully. And you dont forget. And thats good
because many people get lazy and leave the gun accessible.
In almost any break in here the bed will be pulled off (matress gun),
and any concealed places drawers and stuff around the bed
are always fleeced for weapons. They are small (hand guns) and easily traded. Jewels and cash are better of course.
Guns are stolen almost every day here. The paper prints it.
It is a good business. They dont want your laptop, they dont
want your Monet. They want cash, jewelry and guns.
Believe it or not. Maybe Arkansas is very different.
Trade of stolen guns is big business. As it makes sense that
it should be for criminals. Just like other things that are illegal.
So we come back to square one with the business created
by making something desired illegal. The NRA has argued this
point.

all our guns are put up except a pellet gun (for pesky dogs-stings their butts) and a handgun in the nightstand drawer. one of the guns that we didn't buy, it belonged to tony's granddad. that's the funny part tho about this discussion. most say 'well, if you want to protect yourself'...and all my heavy weaponry is locked up on the other end of the house from my bedroom! now, during hunting season they're propped up all over the place-but my youngest is 17, so it's not a concern. and none with a round in the chamber either. muzzleloaders only have caps on once you're in a stand. caps come off before you get down...
