An actual real compromise that benefits both sides, and helps to reduce a real problem.

Let's consider this in the form of a scenario; shall we?

So, you're just going to pick your child up from school... Can't have your carry gun with you on school grounds so you decide to leave it at home, secured.

Your child's teacher wants to discuss an issue with you, delaying your return home for 15 minutes.

You get back home, walk inside and know something isn't right.

While you were gone someone broke into your home and now you've returned while they are still there (happens often enough in real life doesn't it?). You are standing between them and your homes exits but your firearms are "properly secured" and not available to you (at least not quickly).

What do you suppose the likely outcome of this will be? Are you willing to gamble the lives of you and your family to find out?

Exactly.

I keep them in seperate places of the house for a scenario like this.

Same here. One hidden at the entrance for this specific possibility. The government dictating MORE aspects of private life is NOT the answer.

ridge, this would be a terrible idea and would lead to authorities entering homes as they please in the name of a "safety check "

the only reason i would consider a gun buyers card is im cheap . pay 10 bucks once every 2 years -vs- 10 bucks each transaction . this would also help private sales as well . if your at all worried about a potential buyer just ask if he has a card , if he/she has said card then you know they are good to go . of course this would not prevent fake cards , or those that have broken a law after they have gotten the card .

Actually you can take a gun onto school property, but you have to leave it in your car. You can't bring it inside.

That is why we all need one of these!
