No accidents no killing sprees no nothing. Rather kids that you would find to be above average for their age as far as responsable and think and have common sense something that is realy lacking these days. why because they were taught they were not asked they expected to learn and held to a standard. Given responsability and new what was expected of them etc. etc.. I have guns and have an 18 month old daughter that is hell on wheels. My guns are not only locked up they are up high in locked cases. Double protection because now is not the time for her to even be around them. Do I worry no because I know where she is every second. That is why I don't believe in cambinet locks or plug inserts yada yada yada. My mother in law ask me if I made the house child safe and I said yes I'm right here. The gun is not the danger the parent is lets work on the real problem if we expect to avoid these tragedies in the future.
Let me take this bit by bit...first of all I think the world of my son in law! He's a good guy that I respect very much and I do know that if he says he's taught those kids, by golly he's taught those kids!

However, I also know that kids will be kids...and their curiosity gets peaked on occasion and they break the known rules of the house. That's just how it is with kids...and for you to say that you know where your child is "every second" I have to think either you are a very new parent and therefore inexperienced with raising kids or you're outright lying...take your pick.
