I think that we should all think about this, so that we don't ever become accessory to a crime like this. I don't know anyone capable of a mass killing, but just in case, I try to keep my guns secure because I could never live with myself if I were part of such a thing inadvertantly.
I have found a good, simple, slightly expensive way to keep my guns secure. I have a huge 500 pound, five foot tall vault. It cost me only $800 a year ago at Costco. My method is simple: when I am home, I have my weapons out and ready for use. As soon as I leave the house, I take only my PDW on my person, and lock up any other guns. As soon as I return home, I take my PDW on my person, go straight to my vault and open it up for access to anything else I need. I would never want to come home and find my guns stolen, my guns used in a crime, or possibly worst: come into my home facing my own guns! Someone could break in, take my own guns, wait till I got home and do who-knows-what. I prevent all these situations by taking 30 seconds before I leave the home to throw my few guns into my vault, except the one(s) I am carrying with me out of the house.
This works well for me, and gives me great peace of mind. When I am at home, my guns are immediatly within reach (no kids in my house yet, things will change a bit when that happens), but when I am gone, they are completely unaccessable to be used against myself or anyone else.
Any other ideas?
