Much is yet to be discovered, but one has to wonder WHY there was a loaded gun, accessable, in a home with four children ages 1-5.
I have children ages 1, 5, and 9... There is at least one loaded gun near you no matter where you are in my house.
My children learn early that some tools are very dangerous. If they want to see them, they ask first. I take the mystery out of it for them and always emphasize safety.
Of course, I’m not a thug life gangster, or a bed-wetting ninny that treats tools like a forbidden secret.
You cant’t childproof the world, but you can do a lot to world proof your children.
Even s an adult I do not keep my guns loaded in my house
