Not minutes to fart around with some stupid trigger lock or gun safe.

I see the model of our forefathers (called "Minutemen" because they could be ready for combat action in a minute or less) as a good one to have even in the modern day, even if the "combat" will likely be against a home invader rather than a bunch of redcoats.

I think any Minuteman alive today would admire my readiness in any case.
They are not as bad as NY. I can in no way take a firearm to NY. They do not even recognize Peacible Journey law.

I have brought firearms to CA 3 times, and never had a problem.
