Kids were taught to not handle guns.
There were no incidents.
What kind of hellspawn are you raising that can' t be taught to leave a fucking locked safe alone?
Yeah, because ya know...a 2 year old has the developmental capacity and impulse control to understand and execute gun safety. 🙄
A 2 year old is completely safe with a loaded single action automatic left in condition 3.
That is - rounds in magazine, magazine in gun, no round chambered.
To fire - the slide must be worked to full back and released - and the amount of force needed is more than many grown women are capable of - let alone a toddler.
The gun would be no more a hazard than any other object of equal mass.
