The timeline of events doesn't make sense here if the firearm was lawfully stored. The homeowner had just seconds to react, yet he/she had time to run to the safe, open it, take the trigger lock off, find and load ammo, and then finally confront the thugs, all under extreme stress...does that seem feasible? Did these idiots try to rob John Wick?

Regardless of the firearm classification it's not unreasonable to assume the ammo was stored in the safe. Additionally, if the firearm took magazines, I'm pretty sure you could store loaded magazines in said safe (assuming they aren't actually in the firearm). Also, if it's in a safe then a trigger lock isn't lawfully required (for NR firearms).

Lot's of unknowns about what happened here but I'd say there are theoretical scenarios where this is feasible.
