There are many methods of securing firearms, but the most critical is teaching firearm safety. If your kids are taught properly you should not have any problems.

That said, I believe kids have a higher risk of being killed in an automobile accident than with a gun in their own homes. Would this stop you from teaching your kids how to drive?

You make very good points. We will most likely teach them all they need to know, then tell them never to touch it/them! Then, my husband, who I think is right on this, says that if I have to use the gun, make sure I kill him so he can't come back and sue! There is so much to think about. I don't like having to make this decision. Before 9/11, it could be argued that gun ownership was more of a personal perferrence. Now, I feel that more people, like me, feel that it is fast becoming a necessity.
