I have a friend who has a quick access weapon for defense. But he keeps the AR in the corner of his bedroom, a loaded magazine, not chambered. But has a curious 2 year old in his house. And that’s just one instance from a single friend. And he rationalizes it, saying he keeps the door locked. (Which isn’t true because the time we came over and noticed it, the door was wide open)
And this is coming from me, who fairly recently got into firearms and got my CCW. Sometimes the lack of priority for safety just leaves me astounded. This is why statistics happen.

Yeah, I don’t own any guns because I have very curious kids. I’m thinking about getting one, but I’m still not sure what kind of storage to get.
And then there are those idiots on the road that flash their handgun if you honk at them.
I think we should have mandatory gun safety training in schools. Teach kids to respect firearms and learn how to secure them.
