it frees it up a bit if hunting with a young fella as the one rifle between two would go out window.
by not storing rifle themselves it sort of puts a layer between young person and full ownership etc

got lynched for the suggestion....go figure.

I think that might be a bit tricky. However in some ways it is a lot like most rural kids introduction to firearms, shooting with parents, when old enough (still too young for a lience) they get their own rifle that is kept lock in the parents cabinet and let out with varying degrees of supervision as seen fit by said parents.

Ecat safes for everyone is a non starter though, it seems like a very good way to head down the road of de-arming the general public, how many of the 250,000 owners have the ability/willingness to spend that sort of money, suddenly the lobby group becomes a lot smaller, but hey if the government was to hand them out I would take one!
