here's a thought. Get out your six keys and seven combinations behind which you hide the key to your lockbox, match it to your mother-in-law's matching key. Meet her at Ft. Knox, have them get the two of you into your lockbox where you hide your .22 Walther, drive back to Memphis and hit your kid over the head with it a couple of times.

Ever seen a pistol whipped kid react the next time? It's amazing.

PS. Don't forget to head back to Knox and replace your .22 and you might consider changing your security routine, since you might have been followed.

It's not a respect issue. Kids will be kids. He doesn't think about it, then disobey me, he just likes to jump on the couch and in the spur of the moment - he'll get in a couple of hops before I blow my top.

Putting a trigger lock on a firearm is a simple deterrent to the weapon being used for anything you don't want it used for.

It could have been prevented with the simplest of precautions, which earlier in the thread, I support being the law.

Several on here feel that how you store a gun is your own business. Clearly it's not.

I do feel that parents should take reasonable precautions to keep guns out of the reach of children. I keep a gun close to me at night but during the day I keep it stored safely, out of reach of any little ones. I keep my firearm for personal protection so putting a lock on it will not help me in case of emergency. Also these parents whose kid shot himself were not responsible parents at all. This gun was either never registered which any responsible gun owner would not fail to do. This was just one example of what I'm sure is many failures on their part.

IF it is ever needed it also makes your reaction time to any threat nearly impossible to overcome.

It's pointless to argue with UTIE95 over this issue. Guns in the home for the purpose of protection are an evil idea and kids will die regardless of how many safeguards are in place.

So, just let the thugs break in and take what they want.

I'd rather leave it out in the yard, doors and windows that might be damaged are costly to fix.

Maybe we should just have some legislation written on the matter. That always works.

then we also need legislation on fence locks around pools because more under-5yo kids die that way than their dad's gun.

just ban pools altogether. especially in households and neighborhoods where there are children running around.

in fact, let's just ban olympic swimming as well, since it would obviously influence an impressionable 5 yr. old to go jump in a local swimming pool.

If home invasions by thugs looking to kill you are commonplace in Ashland City and Bagshot Row, then I guess you feel the need to be ready for it.

I'm also a big fan of banning alcohol in bars. Who wants to be bothered by loud drunks when playing cricket or 9 ball at a tavern.

You also neglected to add the need for floatation devices in bathtubs, as a matter of fact, we should wear lifejackets at all times, in the event of a flash flood.

There is a law in Tennessee that a residential pool must have two secured fences. Otherwise, the homeowner is liable.

Bagshot Row is in Hobbiton, which is in the Shire. Here we don't need guns we just cast a spell and turn the criminals into mushrooms.

outlaw law abiding behavior, turn everybody into criminals, that way we'll all have guns without locks, pools without fences, and our kids can jump on the sofa whenever they damn well please.
