Nonetheless, even adults on occasion do unpredictable, rude or dumb things.

This subject gets discussed here from time to time, not long ago in this thread. I always find it interesting the lengths to which some folks will go to rationalize not taking some basic precautions to prevent unauthorized access to their guns and the potentially tragic results that could, and have, come from such unauthorized access.

Bottom line is that in my view the responsible gun owner secures his guns against unauthorized access, and that means keeping it on his person or locking it up. It's a matter of personal responsibility and prudence. If someone chooses not to do so, he shouldn't expect to be congratulated on his choice.
