Smyth Busters: Is It Safe To Store Your Home Defense Gun Loaded?
This video from Brownells' Smyth Busters series, featuring Steve and Caleb at the 2022 NRA convention, tackles the crucial question of whether it's safe to store a home defense firearm loaded. They clarify 'loaded' to mean either a round in the chamber with a full magazine or a full magazine without a round in the chamber. The core of their advice centers on gun access, emphasizing that if children or unauthorized adults have access, a gun safe is essential. For those concerned about accessibility in emergencies, they recommend quick-access gun safes. Ultimately, the message is to ensure only authorized adults can access a loaded home defense firearm, highlighting the importance of responsible storage.
