And - I appologize - I realized that was an unfair statement and edited it to be a question - which you already answered. Sorry.
So you agree with me. Why is it a stupid exemption?
For the reason given above. If you’ve cited the law correctly, then ANYTIME a gun is stolen from a locked safe, the owner isn’t culpable. If you were to give someone - a fifteen year old son, say - the combination and he gets your gun and shots three people, you’re not culpable. Why? Because the gun was stolen from a locked safe.
I’m prepared to amend my position if your law has caveats which cover that scenario.
