Gun owner here who lives alone and has no kids. For any of you gun owners WITH kids in the house, what measures do you guys take / recommend taking to make sure accidents involving them don’t happen?
>>65315665Not having retarded kids and doing the most basic effort as a father.
>>65315665Teach the kids to not fuck around with guns. Make sure they understand they're not toys. To further drive that point, shoot them. This may lead to an unintended side effect of them developing immunity to bullets.

>>65315665>2 kids, 7 and 5My bedside gun is in a simplex box in my night stand. The rest are in my safe . My oldest is mature enough to where we’ve been to the range several times, she loves it, is super conscientious about all of it, and is interested. My younger won’t be mature enough until he’s 10 at least, that is unless a major shift in his temperament happens. He desperately wants to go hunting with me, but his maturity and temperament won’t let him do well until he’s older. If you’re a competent roll model for your children and they listen to you, teaching children is a joy compared to adults. Adults tend to be very care free/ flippant about firearm safety when being taught compared to children, who always seem to take it seriously if you yourself are serious about it. Also beware of casual gun owners. There are many many households that have a pistol or shotgun that the husband/father purchased and keeps in less than a secure manner. My fear is that in a few years my kids are at a friends house where said friend has discovered his casual dad’s gun and has never been taught anything about them and thinks he’s in CoD.
>>65315685What would you recommend? I have 3 long guns and 4 pistols.
>>65315703Any metal safe will do. If your intention is to keep kids away from guns anything with a reliable lock will work. Mine is a thin sided metal cabinet that will do nothing to stop a dedicated burglar or a fire but thats not what its for. When you want a bedside get a pistol safe like >>65315694 said.
Best way to stay safe is to teach your kids proper safety and respect of guns. Don't have kids myself but I was young when my dad got guns. I've yet to shoot myself.Also, don't have black sub 80 IQ kids
>>65315665>Supervise the kids if possible>Keep guns and ammo locked up>Keep kids locked up>Don't have niglets aroundThe incident in the image the OP was a self-solving issue.
>>65315813the biggest threat is your teenage son getting bullied at school and one day deciding enough is enough. or being heartbroken after his first gf broke up with him and he cant take it. or some domestic dispute that goes wrong.
>>65315665This video always messes me up, the girl realizes what she did and decides to end her own life in like 3 seconds flat. Completely unreal.
I am getting a locker for my home office closet (where I currently keep most of my guns) and I can deadbolt my home office, I currently leave guns all over that place lol though that will be changing.t. Having a baby in october
Apparently my brother in law kept a loaded revolver attached to the bottom of his and my sister's kitchen tableMy young niece one day shot herself in the chest with it (thankfully survived). Just remember at least you aren't that retarded.
>>65315665Locked safe. Do not leave firearms accessible in the house. Have a sit down with your kids where you explain that a firearm is not a toy, it is a weapon, and to not play with it.
>>65315881What a retarded place to keep a housegun
>>65315910they should have kept it in the shower like a normal person
>>65315683I bought duplicates of my kid's favorite toy and shot it in front of him
