Where I live, anyone who owns a firearm is required to keep it in a locked gun safe when not in use, and there are strict rules around transporting a firearm as well.
They cannot be left unattended in a vehicle, and they absolutely cannot, under any circumstances, be left loaded.
The fact that Americans have loaded firearms just kicking around in their house is utterly insane.
Where I live, walls are not made of cardboard and would prbably have stopped (at least) anything up to and including a 5.56 mm round.
5.56 will punch through even thin steel plate, hitting a stud may stop it, but unless you have concrete walls, I'm calling bullshit on that.
Of course they're concrete, unless the house was built before WW 2.
That sounds incredibly expensive.
