Reply to comment by septagon in Police confiscate loaded gun from 7-year-old at Dorchester school by rabblebowser

Lockpickinglawyer opened one of them up with a twig.

You can argue that this isn't a "proper gun safe" but the law doesn't require that people spend $1000 on a secured to the building vault with 3" steel walls and an attack vetted locking mechanism.

Many of the marketed as "secure" gun safes on amazon and in sporting goods stores are not going to keep an adult out and some are barely able to keep anyone out but are often viewed and marketed capable of doing that.

Proper being defined as something that would keep your 7 year old out, not what the Chinese listing on Amazon says. Any responsible parent and gun owner would agree. The problem is they're not either of those and in the end if that child gets hurt because of it it's fully their fault.
