[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 190135, member: 1233"] Shari - it sounds as though you are doing all that can be done in this situation. I strongly feel that kids should learn gun safety. So often, at least here, there is a gun in the house - at least in many of their friends' homes. And if the gun is in any way accessible, well, I want MY kids to know how to be around it safely. This includes knowing when to LEAVE if someone is handling it unsafely. And you have to know HOW to handle teh weapon to know if it is being handled unsafely. We don't have guns, simply because we don't hunt. And don't have much time to target shoot. My dad has guns in a custom made, incredibly thick and heavy gun cabinet that he welded when he was a metal shop teacher. It is FAR thicker than any commercial gun cabinet I have ever seen. It also has a key lock AND a combination lock. So I have few worries about the kids being around Gpa's guns (or mine that are kept there). in my opinion you are right on target with the consequences of wee-difficult child's actions. I am sorry it was necessary to take these steps. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
