Being a new gun owner, with a family (wife and 2 year old daughter), do you have any other good safety/security advice?

Sure, I'm free with free advice!
Figure out what direction you can point the gun in where it won't hit anyone, even if a bullet penetrates the wall. Then keep the gun pointed in those directions whenever you handle it.
Check for chambered rounds before cleaning or dry-firing. If you didn't see any, check again.
If you'll be using a gun for home defense, you'll need to set up a plan. One that takes the whereabouts of your wife and daughter into account. This is WAY too involved for me to do a decent job of describing it here. Going through the NRA Self-protection course will help.
Oh, yeah. Train. Like Paxton Quigley says, strive to be an excellent shot.
