Part of the whole law includes the requirement for safe storage, if the gun had
been legally registered the police could have ascertained (beforehand) if the
owner met those requirements for safe storage of a handgun.  A big part of the
law is to license owners and in doing so make them aware of proper safety
procedures for storage and handling.
