Hand guns and ownership of them .?

[SteveUK]

I have 3 kids; 3, 7, 13. The two youngest aren't even aware there are guns in the house and have never seen them. The guns in the bedroom are trigger locked.

Do you have kids? Do you lock your liquor cabinet? Do you lock your medicine cabinet. Do you hide your car keys. Are the kitchen knives locked up?

Responsible gun owners don't leave loaded guns for children to play with and those raised with guns in the home must be educated on gun safety - as my 13 year old is.

Yes I have the liquor out of reach, I have medicine out of reach, my car and bike keys are out the way and my kitchen knives are locked away from my child. If he has a gun on the night stand and a gun under the bed not loaded... Why would he make the comment or even have them there... put ammo in safe, put gun next to bed huh?... LoL are you for real? you must love guns a lot or just trying too hard.

hahahaha are you fvckn serious? What you have your liquire on a top shelf with no way to reach it? Knives are also on a top shelf somewhere with your keys next to them? 99% of people keep their medicine on a night stand or medicine cabinet. lol

Stop trying to make it something it's not. You dont like/want guns then the rest of us are safer for it since you dont seem to have a basic understanding. You are just looking for a reason to make an argument.

Most legal gun owners not only are educated on how to use a gun safely as well as store it they also practice the safety in other life aspects such as actually locking up perscription meds. I keep ALL my prescriptions in my gun safe.

No I dont lock up my knifes. I taught my kids when they are young they are SHARP and they have learned from experience. I taught my kids what No meant also so they understand there are consequences.

Whats really funny is you would have a panic attack if you knew how many people around you had a concealed carry permit. I have had it come up in conversation a couple of times with people I have known for many years and they had no idea I had on or that I carried. It's not something you advertise in public.

Yea I am serious. But I do have my knives in the kitchen behind a child gate and behind a child proof lock. And I don't have basic understanding? You seem to have missed the point or skipped the post, that I actually commented on. You taught you're kids about knives, yes they are sharp, Kids fall, kids have accidents, either way its you're fault. The guy said gun on the night stand gun under the bed, if there not loaded why have them there.. Panic attack lol a fairy carrying a gun even if they pulled it they would be that shaky they probably miss.

Yup, that pretty much covers it.
Good idea, keep them locked behind that gate, pad all the walls and sharp corners. God forbid they ever learn anything from experience or make a mistake in life. No reason to teach them safety or respect such as DONT touch or it's dangerous.
You kids will make good followers someday.

My kid know safety and respect. Here's a knife learn not to fall on it...

And the same knowledge can be shared with children regarding guns and responsibility.

Am I real? Well, unless you want to turn this in to an existential discussion, the simple answer is, yes I am real so far as my conscious mind allows it. As Renee Decartes said, "cogito ergo sum".

I still don't see how having guns and ammo with children in the home assumes a tragedy will occur. Children die in pools, car accidents, chocking on small objects.....hell a child misusing a treadmill could be life threatening. Should we ban all these things? Keep them out of vehicles? No, of course not. Now, one could bring in population statistics in the argument perhaps showing gun related accidents involving children is higher than vehicular injuries. Fair enough, I'll grant you that. Again, the problem isn't guns, it's parenting. If you are leaving loaded guns around with children to young to appreciate the threat and potential fatality, it's parental neglect and ignorance, not guns, causing the problem.

18 years of university, 5 degrees. Needed something to do with my time. I studied 4 languages in school. A mind is a terrible thing to waste - unfortunate many do.
