I have never used a trigger lock, but I have been told they are crap. even if they were the law, people won't use them inside their home. It would be like smoke detectors--people kept taking the batteries out so now they have to be hardwired in lots of places.
I agree. Some of the trigger locks that come with new guns are made for that gun and work pretty well, but the generic locks are usually cumbersome garbage. I unload them and put them in a safe. My pistols are kept loaded in a pistol safe with a simplex lock. Only my wife and I know the combo.
Which is the core f the Australian laws and seems to have been what, more than the buy back or the restrictions, caused the drop in firearms related incidents
and the vaccum left behind is now filled with violent gang activities, violent home invasions, and increase of non-firearm related suicides. Nope, you're still the violent society that you started out with, maybe more so and with an increase of violence in a disarmed society always ends badly
