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?

I'd try to do the same, chances are I wouldn't make it that quickly...it was around midnight.

I get it, but this is a little different...I doubt this guy and his elderly mother had any advance notice. The whole thing lasted under a minute at night. Good for him for being alert and cool under pressure; I doubt many keyboard commandos on this thread would perform as well.

For all we know, he got lucky and looked out the window at the right time
