Some of you guys just aren't reading the responses. I would have no issues having unlocked firearms around the house with my son (though the state would - that is another discussion). He is well trained and understands the risks. However I cannot say the same thing about any of his friends that might come over. The reality is that most kids are *not* well trained, and boys will be boys. While I think he's pretty good at policing his own behavior, not so sure about others. And as any parent knows, you can't watch them every second to see what they're doing.
As it stands my weapons are locked up (firearms in a pushbutton safe, long arms in a locked cabinet per state law. There is a loaded magazine in the closet so if need be I can be ready to rock in about 20 seconds. But frankly I think the odds of having to do that are incredibly remote.
