Those who advocate trigger locks obviously have not actually tested trigger locks themselves, and are thus ignorant of the subject and their opinions are invalid.

I purchased a common-style trigger lock and attached it to an unloaded, common gun (Glock 17, preferred by police). I then - WITH TRIGGER LOCK ATTACHED - proceeded to load the gun, chamber a round, and fire the gun. Many others have performed the same experiment with other locks and other guns with the same results. Trigger locks clearly give only an illusion of safety, and are not actually safe.
