Obviously. No one is forcing trigger locks on anyone.
I could have sworn that the argument came up when someone mentioned the efforts of Democrats to mandate trigger locks. Are you saying this is not the case?
However, when a gun is not in use, it makes sense to secure it, and that's what these tools are for.
Here's a scenario for you; you have a handgun for protection and keep it in your purse. You of course have a trigger lock on the weapon because in your scenario, you are afraid of someone stealing it and using it in a crime or accidental discharge; as you are attempting to fish your car keys from the purse, a thug emerges from the darkness; you grab your handgun for protection, but alas, it has a trigger lock on it and now you are helpless to prevent the thug from mugging you, and perhaps worse.
This scenario can apply equally well to the weapon kept in the home in a drawer in the bedroom.
They are not an instrument of Satan, TD.
Say what? :rofl
