Same thing happened to my neighbor, and friend of mine. His youngest used to play with my youngest. There is a photo in the den of the two kids, smiling at the camera.
He also thought he'd 'safety-proofed' his kids and his house. He was mistaken.
The thing I remember most was that he always told me he 'couldn't afford a gun safe', but when the time came he found that he could pay for a coffin.
To this day I wish I'd just bought him a Gun Vault like mine and given it to him.
Something like a Gun Vault costs $100 or so.
It affords you virtually instant access to a loaded gun, which is otherwise inaccessible to kids.
If you have kids, and you can't afford to secure your firearm, then you can't afford to own a firearm.
And Cloud8a, take this from a guy who knows. If you think a Gun Vault is expensive, try buying a coffin.
