Accidents happen, but this "father" needs to man up

Quote: why not carry a handgun on your person at all times? Carrying allows you to always know where the weapon is and that it is not in the hands of your kid.

I still carry a gun on my hip at all times. But my wife wouldn't walk around with a gun on her hip. All though we now live in a safer neighborhood. All long guns were locked up along with the handguns that were not stashed. As I mentioned,I trained the curiosity out of my kids and they had enough respect for me and the firearms that if one was found an adult would have been told. Besides my kids were rarely indoors except to sleep. Couldn't hardly get them to even watch TV,they would rather play in the woods,ride their ATV-snowmachines ect..
But I do understand where your coming from. What worked at my home probably wouldn't work in 99.9% at other folks homes.

OK. let's assume that you were able to train childhood characteristics out of your children. Did they ever have friends over? How did you know that every one of their friends had been trained to think and act like an adult at the age of 10?
