So this is an interesting fact. Most city jurisdictions have a "leash law". Meaning...if your dog is outside your home, it must either be fenced in, or, on a leash. But, there is no law requiring my firearm to be secured on my property.
That's right.
If I have a 2 year old pit bull sitting on my front porch unsecured, I can get a ticket.
But if I have a 2 year old Glock .45 cal pistol on my front porch, unsecured, I can not get a ticket.
If I leave the dog and gun on the porch, and a person walks up onto that porch from next door, I could get in trouble for leaving the dog unleashed. But not for leaving the gun unsecured.
Seems if most city governments find that it is dangerous to leave a dog off a leash.......it would also see that it is dangerous to leave a gun unlocked, unsecured anywhere outside the home or not in a holster on the owner's body.
