I'll only address this point... Define "Properly secured" for us please? I don't have a safe, but my house is locked. Is that properly secured? Or would it require us gun owners to all go out and get a gun safe? Would we no longer be allowed to have the pistol on the bedside table? What about the bedside 12GA? I doubt I'd be able to swiftly pop open the latest and greatest of gun safes in a timely manner at 2AM when someone crashes through my window intent on nefarious things and I need my gun the most... I see this as a bit of a slippery slope... and I'm opposed to wreave's idea on F2F sales requiring a BGC- especially now... 10 day wait!? GFY panic buyers!
