A gun at rest, which this case was, is also extremely unlikely to have any life threatening downsides. What is your point?

Are you trying to claim that locking your door at night, and carrying a firearm daily, both result in the same amount of risk of life threatening downsides? Because I would very much disagree with that statement.

Yes, because a gun that sits in a holster with a safety on is just as likely to kill you as a door is. Guns don't shoot themselves.
