Initial reports indicate the AR-style rifle the 20-year-old gunman used was one that his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/nation\/2024\/07\/15\/thomas-crooks-trump-assassination-investigation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">father had legally purchased<\/a> in 2013 from a gun shop that is now out of business. The suspect, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was still living with his parents in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, just over an hour away from the scene of the attack in Butler, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is not known if Crooks had permission to have the firearm or if his parents were aware that he had it, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/live-news\/trump-rally-shooting-fbi-investigation-attempted-assassination-july-17\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a> has reported that his parents, who are said to be fully cooperating with authorities, did call police the day of the shooting concerned because their son was \u201cmissing and they were worried.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The report goes on to say, \u201cIt\u2019s unclear what his parents told authorities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is only speculation at this point, but it\u2019s not unreasonable to wonder if they realized their son\u2014and a firearm\u2014were both missing, a combination of factors that spawned them to call authorities. Regardless of whether Crooks had permission or not, the outcome was a bad one. It is a situation that underscores the critical importance for gunowners, particularly parents, to keep their firearms safely and securely stored to prevent unauthorized access to them by children in the home, guests or intruders. It\u2019s also a reminder to always make sure they are cautious about whom they grant access to those firearms as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe don\u2019t know what happened here, though it possibly hints at a case of unauthorized access. We just don\u2019t know yet,\u201d says Tom Kubiniec, CEO of SecureIt, a leading provider of safe gun storage solutions. \u201cBut when you look at all the data and statistics, if all the guns in America were properly secured, you\u2019d have a lot of tragedies prevented each year.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safe Storage Is Easy\u2026And Affordable<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kubiniec explains that when he says, \u201cproperly secured,\u201d he means out of sight. He\u2019s not a fan of trigger locks but admits if you don\u2019t have anything besides one to secure a firearm then you should use it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThey make it harder for you to access the gun when you need it quickly,\u201d he says. Keeping a firearm merely hidden in a closet can also make it hard to access at a time of need should you be in another room or if it is in a standard gun case or hidden behind other items like clothing.

Currently, <a href=\"https:\/\/everytownresearch.org\/rankings\/law\/secure-storage-or-child-access-prevention-required\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">26 states<\/a> have adopted some form of child access and\/or secure storage laws, according to Everytown for Gun Safety, an anti-gun group funded by Michael Bloomberg. But Pennsylvania isn\u2019t one of them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere are no such laws in Pennsylvania,\u201d says Michael Giaramita, a Pennsylvania attorney who founded The Gun Law Firm and wrote <em><a href=\"https:\/\/store.uslawshield.com\/products\/pennsylvania-gun-law-armed-and-educated\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pennsylvania Gun Law Armed &amp; Educated<\/a><\/em>. \u201cHowever, under 18 Pa.C.S. 6142, a licensed dealer is required to \u00a0sell or provide a locking device to the transferee of any \u201cfirearm\u201d excluding antiques. Because of the way \u201cfirearm\u201d is defined under Section 6102, this relates mostly to modern handguns. The requirement does not apply if\u00a0the design of the firearm incorporates a locking device. There are no requirements as to what must be done with the locking device after the transfer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Groups such as Everytown have championed these laws, but the effort is not without controversy and criticism. While, gun rights groups\u00a0 also encourage safe storage and responsible gun ownership, they generally oppose codifying such requirements based on the grounds that they can unnecessarily criminalize citizens through laws that can be difficult to enforce and are little more than governmental overreach into people\u2019s private lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe problem with these laws is the government regulating gun ownership flies in the face of our freedoms,\u201d Kubiniec says. \u201cGovernment regulation is never going to be good. It will start with wanting laws that require you to lock your guns but will expand into requirements on how to lock them and ultimately make it difficult to access your firearms when they are needed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) recently promoted their \u201cGun Storage Check Week,\u201d through retailers and the media to highlight the importance of reminding \u201cfirearms owners to review their storage practices with the goal of preventing unwanted access to their guns.\u201d Gun Storage Check Week was observed June 1-7.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSecurely storing guns when they\u2019re not in use can save lives. It\u2019s really that simple,\u201d says Joe Bartozzi, president and CEO of NSSF. \u201cNo one wants their gun in the hands of an unsupervised child, a person in crisis, someone who does not understand how to safely operate firearms or a thief.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of the states that have passed secure storage laws, Michigan\u2019s caught the most attention recently as it went into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/new-michigan-gun-laws-go-into-effect-today\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">effect Feb. 13, 2024<\/a>, on the one-year anniversary of a shooting at Michigan State University that left four people dead and five wounded. On the first day after safe storage requirements went into effect there, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/michigan-man-charged-first-day-after-states-new-gun-storage-law-takes-effect\/\">Michael Tolbert, 44, was charged<\/a> under the law after his 3-year-old daughter accessed a firearm and accidentally shot herself in the head. Just over a month after passage, grandparents Karl and Theresa Robart, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/grandparents-charged-in-accidental-killing-of-grandchild-under-michigans-safe-storage-law\/\">were charged with violating gun storage laws<\/a> when their 5-year-old grandson was shot and killed after his 6-year-old cousin got ahold of a gun in their home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Tolbert\u2019s part, he was a convicted felon and already illegally possessed the firearm his daughter, Skye, accessed, so it\u2019s not clear how the new laws will actually influence both legal gun owner and illegal gun owner behavior.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Michigan\u2019s safe storage law also took effect just a week after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/michigan-school-shooters-mother-found-guilty-in-precedent-setting-conviction\/\">Jennifer Crumbley<\/a>, the mother of 15-year-old Ethan Crumbley, who committed a mass shooting at a high school in Oxford, Michigan, in 2021 that left four people dead, was found guilty of manslaughter for her son\u2019s actions. In the trial, Jennifer was found guilty of providing the firearm to her unstable son that he used in the shooting. Her husband and the boy\u2019s father, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/parents-receive-lengthy-prison-sentences-for-sons-school-shooting\/\">James Crumbley, was found guilty<\/a> on the same charges a month later. The case is notable as it marked the first time in U.S. history the parents of a mass shooter were held liable for their negligence in allowing access to a firearm. Their son had already been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-547764 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/guns-in-safe-700x466.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/guns-in-safe-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/guns-in-safe-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/guns-in-safe-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/guns-in-safe-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/guns-in-safe-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/guns-in-safe-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/guns-in-safe-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/guns-in-safe.jpg 770w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 696px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 696\/463;\"\/><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-547764\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/guns-in-safe-700x466.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/guns-in-safe-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/guns-in-safe-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/guns-in-safe-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/guns-in-safe-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/guns-in-safe-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/guns-in-safe-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/guns-in-safe-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/guns-in-safe.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Rights Comes Responsibility<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even in states without safe storage requirements, a parent who negligently allows their child to access their firearms and then the child commits a crime with that firearm, could find themselves in serious legal trouble similar to the Crumbleys. At the very least, such as in Pennsylvania, they may find themselves open to a serious lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf parents were to be sued, these cases are evaluated based upon a general negligence standard. Courts have gone through this in multiple contexts. In <em>Johnson v. Johnson<\/em>, a father provided his son with a gun that was later used in a fatal hunting accident. The Superior Court concluded that the father could be held liable. In <em>Mendola v. Sambol<\/em>, a father left a gun out and his eleven\u2013year\u2013old son used it in the shooting of another young child. The\u00a0Superior Court concluded that he too could be held liable. In that case, the Court noted that \u2018it is negligent to place loaded firearms or poisons within reach of young children or feebleminded adults,\u2019\u201d says Giaramita, who is also an independent program attorney for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uslawshield.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. LawShield<\/a>, a company that provides self-defense insurance products for gunowners and educates them on safe, legal gun practices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to safe firearms storage, Giaramita says from a legal standpoint it is not so much \u201cwhy\u201d as \u201cwhen\u201d it is a good idea.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI would lean more towards the importance of preventing access from those who do not have permission and being cautious about to whom one grants permission. If your negligence puts a gun in the hands of a child, a feeble-minded adult or anybody\u00a0with bad intentions, and something horrible happens, you should expect to be sued,\u201d says the attorney. And even if you avoid jail time in states where you may be subject to criminal charges or a hefty payment, defending yourself could take years and countless dollars paying legal fees that can leave you financially drained.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf all gun owners would take that responsibility seriously, we could put this issue to bed,\u201d says Kubiniec. \u201cIf every gun owner kept their guns secured, this issue goes away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a best-case scenario, you ensure nobody is ever hurt from your firearm and possibly your child doesn\u2019t make a life-ending or altering mistake. In a worst-case scenario, you must deal with the aftermath of innocent lives lost, the possible death of a child or other loved one or at the extreme end of the scale, the course of a presidential election and American history irrevocably altered, the negative fallout of which could be felt for generations. It\u2019s really a pretty easy decision to make.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>Editor\u2019s Note: All product and gun reviews are performed independently and product mentions made based on the quality of the product and value of interest to gun owners.
