22% in a safe
https://www.rand.org/research/gun-policy/analysis/essays/per...
> The 2016 survey found that 46 percent of gun owners stored all household guns locked, of whom 22 percent stored them in a gun safe or cabinet, 13 percent in a gun rack, 6 percent in a locked gun case, and 5 percent in another locked location
Cabinet = crowbar opens in seconds
Rack = easier than a cabinet
> Mostly from cars
It's like 50% from cars, yes. Still well over 100k stolen from houses
Also the reason why people end up with guns in cars is often because of dumbass laws like forcing you to abandon the weapon before going into a liquor licensed restaurant, park, daycare, post office, etc. Theyd rather the gun get stolen and carried by a crim than a licensed carrier walk into the post office.
Removing carry restrictions I think would significantly lower accounts of unsecured (car) storage. Only takes one time of going into post office or picking up your kid at daycare and now you're tossed into stats of someone who doesnt keep all guns secured at the home safe.
No idea, I'd guess it doesn't get included in the numerator or denominator

Yes I think this is pretty much correct.
