A toddler has shot and killed someone every week for the last two years
The Mic ^

"Guns don't kill people. Toddlers kill people."

That's the bold — if satirical — message of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, which published a video in October warning Americans of the dangers of toddlers.

Toddlers have shot about one person a week for the past two years and by May, toddlers were behind more U.S. shootings in 2016 than Muslim terrorists were.

I had a discussion about this subject with some very knowledgeable and they felt that with kids around:

DA is dangerous
Everything goes into the safe when not being used.
DAs and SAs which have had expensive trigger jobs are particularly dangerous.
Pistols which do not have a trigger safety are dangerous around kids.

Button code meaning buttons you press to put in your passcode? Sorry to be so dumb.

Yes ma'am. I don't even have toddlers, and except for one, all go in that vault.

Safes are never safe from theft. I had a 1000 lb safe stolen last year.

There had to be prior knowledge. That's why nobody should know anything, ever. Even your buds.

No wonder they’re such abortaphiles. Babies popping out of the mothers with fully automatic Glock AR-15 with high capacity variable clip revolvers to gun down minorities and women at play school.

I don’t know if I could fit all my kids in that vault, but I’ll give it a try. ;)

Seriously, I’d feel a lot better protected with quick access that is safe from any wrong or little hands. This neighborhood and others like it in the country have been targeted and “owned” by specific south LA gangs, 20 miles away. For real.

Don’t take my gun just because some people won’t watch their kids.

If you have young ones, store safely.

I store them outside on a chain with a cutout 55 gal. drum to protect them from the wind.
Rocky Mountain winters are windy.

That makes it safe for my guns to roam about the house.

I assume you have pistols. Why not just get a holster and carry around the house? I know it’s weird but I do it. My sons are older and well trained. I even took my 14 year old to the range last year for his birthday. He did really well with my two Ruger 9’s. I’m glad he knows how to use them in case of emergency. My 12 yo is trained not to touch it. Still, if there is an immediate need for it my pistol is with me.

Thanks, but, please, no, not again!

Too many years in a row and people are going to think the whole thing is rigged. ;-)

No, I am not ready for that. My oldest sons wouldn’t even let me! In a smallish safe would be fine. I’d like it to be disguised so no hired person would see it and try to break in. It’s a big property with nothing really of value here and I like it that way.

My older two love to go to the range as well. I need to go back, maybe take a course.

I must be a bad parent. My son shot his first deer when he was 8.
