i am all about the right to bear arms, let me say that first.  but this is pure stupidity! i read this on another message board.

 

my dh has about 9 guns layin around (literally) but ds isnt even crawling yet and we havent even talked about it either. he plans on teaching him all about the safety Im sure. eventually we can afford to buy a safe. but for now they lay there, I think the parts are spread around in diff areas of the house too

That is a little much!

We are going to have to buy a safe, for sure. ?DH's guns are not laying around, but they are just in cases.?

I honestly don't know what to say. I can't believe a mother would be so cavalier about the safety of her child.

well, and i guess it isn't the morning anymore. but still.

i know right! i told her to sell 1-2 of the guns for the money to buy a safe...

Oh holy hell.

First off, a safe isn't very expensive. You can buy a gun locker for $100 or so.

Second, if the guns are "in parts all over the house" the chances of a baby putting the gun together and hurting himself are slim. But still, I wouldn't have guns just laying around the house, in parts or put together. All ours are locked up.

this is why when dd will NOT be allowed to play at friend's houses if there parents have guns.  end of story.

Wow, so their motivation to get a safe a crawling baby? Strange. Wouldn't you think you would want to be prapared? There are some pretty strange characters out there.

A colleague of mine is going through embryo adoption right now and recently had their homestudy. She was seriously pissed because the HS paperwork mandated that buy a safe to keep the gun in. She kept saying that she will just "teach the baby/kid about guns and it won't be a problem". SO stupid. My husband loves to go shooting and has a few guns, but they are locked up in a safe, and always will be.

Even if she can't afford a safe she should be able to afford a $20 case with a lock on it. Put the ammo in a different & safe location.

This is the kind of stuff that ruins it for those that are conscious of gun safety & it's importance.

I just typed three different sentences and none of them properly conveyed my frustration with this level of irresponsible parenting.

Some people are so dumb! Our housemates used to leave gun parts lying around their apartment area and it drove me nuts when I would go and visit them. Not to mention the ex-marine that lived in our basement and owned guns most people shouldn't. He was a heavy drinker and DH was always terrified he was going to accidentally fire one through our floor, or worse, into Brooke's room.

This is the same guy who commited suicide in our basement. Guns scare the crap out of me. I have an uncle who owns guns, and I trust him greatly with them. But other than that, NO. It only takes one time for a kid to get to a gun if they are not safely put away.
