Firstly, I moved from MA to TX a few months ago, and I am aware of the struggle many of you are fighting with the recent actions by the MA AG. Please accept my best wishes and goodwill in your fight to restore the rights that were taken from you!
Now for my question...
In Texas, I have the option to store firearms in my home in a manner I see fit (be it locked up, not locked up, loaded, etc...) There is liability if someone (especially a child) accesses one of your firearms and hurts themselves or someone else, BUT that liability ends the moment the firearm is accessed illegally (break-in, stolen, etc...)
My wife and I do not have children in the house. We also don't often have visitors. I am debating if I want to keep firearms ready to rock stashed around the home in a few accessible, but hidden places. My concern is, what if someone breaks in and finds them? My wife and I could walk into an ambush!
What do you guys think about the pros/cons of doing this in TX (not MA)?
