Don't get too excited here guys. The article says they haven't charged the homeowner at this time. They can very well come along a few months later and lay charges.

I'd love for this to not be the case, but police frequently lay charges well after the event.

I mean, probably. How can you respond that quickly with an actually properly stored firearm?

A combination trigger lock with it being 1 number off of unlocking is completely legal storage as far as I’m concerned

In-wall safe in the bedroom with a digital keypad. No trigger lock needed, and you can have a loaded magazine next to the gun. Pretty easy actually.
