HI,
It goes back to how you teach the kids to act in the event that they see a firearm unattended. (particularly when you are not around, at a friend's house for example).
for this one needs to talk to the kids (often enough, once is not enough) about what to do (and what not to do) if they do find a firearm lying around .

It also helps to be informed regarding the parents of your kids friends (or your relatives) where your kids go to play. (do they have guns? how do they control them?) and if necessary discuss your concerns with them.

Brgds,
Danny
