Trigger locks?
I have a couple of older .22 rifles that I have always had trigger locks on, to ensure they legally meet the safe storage requirements.
They are unique in the fact that if one was to simply unscrew the stock from the action/barrel, the trigger guard (along with the trigger lock), also comes off. Although somewhat awkward to handle/aim, you would be now able to discharge it. Lot of good as trigger lock does in this case..  I wonder if in the eyes of the law they are still stored legally? I have never seen any fine print regarding this aspect of certain firearms.

It's even easier than that, if you don't mind a little cosmetic damage and if you're a bad guy you probably don't. A sharp blow or hard twist will simply break the trigger guard off, and now you have a perfectly functioning firearm
 .On a side note, I heard that a person HAS to have a Locking Room, or Gun Cabinet in the house now for storing guns. Is that true, or is a Trigger Lock, Action Lock, BBL Lock good enough still? RD

RD[/QUOTE] A trigger lock, etc is still fine, heck you just have to seperate the bolt from the gun & store them in different locations and you are legal. See: Storing, Transporting and Displaying Firearms

What the bad guy does to the gun after he steals it is another matter, I just wondered about the legality, of this type of break down gun, with just using a trigger lock. It would almost seem pointless, but I suppose it would still be classed as legal, and that's all that counts in court.
