Westchester/safe storage inspection

[byron]

Just hand them a copy of Heller and highlight this section.

District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), is a landmark case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to keep and bear arms, unconnected with service in a militia, for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home, and that the District of Columbia's handgun ban and requirement that lawfully owned rifles and shotguns be kept "unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock" violated this guarantee.[

Alarm systems are required now? What is the purpose of the survey questions in relation to the safe storage laws?

None of this is anyone's business to collect -- although, if the purpose is to advise you on how to store them better, just as a person to person assessment at the moment, then that's fine and reasonable. Should the state know, though? Not really.

The detectives just run through the check points on their sheet. There is nothing requiring an alarm system. It is just one of the things that they're mandated to ask. I asked the detective if they thought that this whole ordeal was worthwhile. They felt that the judges were crazy.

Is this all moronic? YES! They don't get interested in doing anything until you try and acquire your 6th pistol. So...what they're really saying is, "Leaving five pistols lying around the house is fine. But, leaving six pistols lying around is just a bit too much for us to allow."

The most annoying part was that the judge held up acquisition of a pistol while I awaited another inspection. Why? If I was a badguy, wouldn't I just use some of my other pistols, which they knew I possessed, to do something bad? That being the case, shouldn't they just immediately approve all pistol amendments for those who already have registered pistols?

This all strikes me as wrong and unconstitutional. The rights of the law-abiding gun-owning minority in the Province of Westchester are never considered to be worth anything at all. They are always, and constantly, being abridged.
