Sorry for the confusing title. I recently got a shotgun and it is the only firearm in the home. Both my parents have handled shotguns at one point in their life but arent real shooters per say. I am 21 and have a difference of opinion id like to get across to them so im asking you guys how.
Since we have a firearm in the home, along with ammunition. I see a potential security situation. The gun can stay locked in the case with a cable through the chamber and in all likelihood in the event of a break-in it may not even come into play. On the other hand the way my brain works the gun in the home in the event of a break-in can either work for me or the person coming into my home. Having a criminal in the home get to my gun first and then shooting me with it would rather suck.
I would like my parents to at least learn how to get into the case, load it, safety operation, basically bare minimum to at least know its operation and if needed be able to USE it. My parents on the other hand dont appear to give a S@#T about it.
Am i wrong in thinking that if there is a gun in your home (no matter who owns it) then you should be competent with its operation and ready to use it?
