Are you required to have a trigger lock or other locking
device that
disables it?

We do in Massachusetts. By law, all firearms must be stored
in a safe
or have trigger or chamber locks installed. Ammo is supposed
to be
stored elsewhere ... meaning not in the vicinity of the firearm.

My shotgun and Ruger 10/22 have locks on them. The handguns
are loaded
but kept in a safe.

Best keep your safe open, lest you need quick access to your hand
cannons ;-)

I keep them all in the safe during the day (unless I am carrying
one
which is rare).

At night I keep one of them within easy reach from my bed.

I think I told the story of hunting down "Fudge" recently in the
middle
of the night. Goofy dog got out of the garage and was exploring
the
house at 2am. Sounded for sure that someone was moving around
from room
to room.

These days, I keep an unloaded .357 revolver close by at night,
with a
5Star Speedloader with six rounds of Hornady Defense Ammo nearby:

.357 MAG ammo is... *loud* !

You must live in a crappy neighborhood.

I'm sure the .357 MAG rounds would be just as noisy in your
neighborhood.

Oh, you think I live in a dangerous neighborhood. I suspect the
violent
crime rate in this part of our county is lower than it is in your
'hood.

Said nothing about the sound. You must live in a crappy hood, to think
need a firearm handy at night. We have little violent crime in my
hood.
Mostly white collar criminal.

You just never know when a little **** with a big mouth from Connecticut
(or his full-patch motorcycle gang buddy) will jump on a kid's
motorbike,
drive down here, and bust his way through the door. If that happens, I
want to be ready and able to greet him properly.

Paranoid.

Alarms, booby traps, security lighting, security cameras, guns behind
the double deadbolted steel doors. Nah, he's not paranoid. All that's
missing is a moat and a gun turret on the roof. What is Krausie so
afraid of?
