[clue-talk] Heller

[David Rudder]

That's a good question.  The ruling states:
"The requirement that any lawful firearm in the home be disassembled or 
bound by a trigger lock makes it impossible for citizens to use arms for 
the core lawful purpose of self-defense and is hence unconstitutional."

Does anyone on this list own a gun with a trigger lock?  Does it really 
make it impossible to defend your home?  I have drawer locks on the 
drawers in my kitchen, but I can still use my knives and cleaning 
chemicals, it just takes an additional 10 seconds to get to them.
