The "problem" is that a home defense gun doesn't do you any good when it's in the safe. Well, it "might" do you some good if you can get it out in time which is a very questionable thing seconds matter when you're facing a home invasion robbing crew.
Nor is it safe to keep that HD shotty / carbine out of the safe all of the time, especially when you're not home.
Most people are not going to go in and out of their gun safe multiple times a day to alternatively secure the weapon and take it out so it is ready to use on a moments' notice.
That's "the problem" today. It's not only a "real" problem but it is so well-known that a majority of American adults have decided that it's not worth the trouble, the hassle, and the potential risk to their family's safety, to even have a home defense firearm!
