Another good reason to keep a gun for protection.

Report: Parkman murder suspect took victim’s gun, shot her

If the guy who is breaking into your house does not have a gun you wouldn't want to be an ungracious host.

“He was sleeping in a sleeping bag on the floor,” said Johnson. “There was a loaded 22 rifle on the coach and the younger brother picked up the gun, to move it, and it went off.”

The bullet passed through the brother’s head and lodged in the wall. The shooting has been ruled as accidental.

I am an advocate of Guns and Gun ownership.  But this is gross negligence and the parents should be prosecuted.  Unbelievable.

We have three rifles here. All have gun locks and are kept in a separate area of the house than the shotgun shells, away from the kids. Hell, I couldn't even tell you where the shells are.

Oh, and FYI, most state police barracks will give you gun locks for FREE. That's how we got all of ours.

And, again.

Family member says 3-year-old dies after shooting herself

And, Judi, that's wonderful.  But then you can't pretend that you are keeping those guns for self-defense because if something does happen they are utterly useless.  No.  If someone is constantly walking around pissing his/her pants because they are convinced that the 'bad guys' are coming then a gun is only useful if it is loaded and ready for instant use.  Of course, that can make things dicey when the grandkids come to visit.

I keep a pistol, loaded, for self defense. But then, there are no children in my house, when children enter my house guns are locked/children are not allowed in my bedroom. And I also have formal training on the subject.

I feel like with very minimal effort, a very large percentage of gun "accidents" could be prevented.

Making people smarter will take much more than a "minimal effort."
