To lock up your guns or not
I have a Ruger P-89 9mm that is my SD house gun. I currently keep it up high in my closet unloaded, but withaloaded clip in the extraclip holderin my holster. I also have a 3 year old boy (who is a toy gun nut) and a ten year old. I'm debating what is best and safest for my family. I have heard that a gun in the house is of no use in a high pressure home inavsion situation if its not loaded and easily accesible from bed (like a nightstand). At the same time I have young children to protect. I don't want my neligence to be the cause of a tragedy. I do take them shooting and teach them gun safety. I try to satisfy their natural curiosity by exposing them to guns and shooting safely and often. Howver I'm still reluctant to keep a loaded firearm within reach (visible or not) of especially my 3 yr. old. What are some of your opinions on this dillemma?
