It isn't as if he had the guns sitting out on the window seal for any 6 year old boy to wander up and take.

| Hiding guns is NOT a responsible action and it is NOT the same as securing them. Even if there weren't a law against it...it's still not responsible | ||||

Keeping them hidden in a locked house when you live by yourself is not irresponsible in the least. | ||||

Yes, I'm obviously a felon because someone broke into my home.  | ||||

| exactly. i only see a safe as being necessary when there are children involved. other than that, it is being substantially responsible to keep the guns out of general site in your own private home behind a locked door. ballz should not be charged with a felony offense for this. it's absurd. | ||||

| Is there a real problem in MA with guns being stolen and then used in other crimes? I'm kind of interested after all of this in learning where most of the "underground" or "street" guns come from. Are they sold by shady dealers, or stolen, etc? | ||||

It should not be a crime to have a gun in your locked house. Makes me glad I live in a red state. | ||||
