It sounds like a good idea to me, except that it would be much better not to publicize which neighborhoods are part of the "program". If someone knows that a specific firearm is in your house, they may conspire some way to steal it from you. If they know that you don't have a firearm, then a criminal may feel more emboldened to launch an assault on your castle. If they don't know either way, however... Someone once told me that people don't usually steal things that they don't know you have. And in the back of every criminal's mind is the thought that maybe, just maybe, there's some 12 year old kid with an AR15 waiting behind that front door...

Every responsible person in every city should have responsible gun owners and all practicing 2nd amendment rights! They would be a more dead bad guys less taxes on DOJ = jails and a safer place for everybody to live.
