Jeff,

What got me started on this was a four year old that found his grandfathers gun and blew away his 6 year old sister. That was a tragedy on several levels.

The loss of the child
The mental anguish that the surviving child will have to live with
The parents of the both children have had to and probebly still are going through seven shades of hell
The relationship between the Parents of the children and their father the grandfather, how can they even look at each other.
The grandfather is in jail becasue someone got his gun.
The grandfather lost his family all in one second of carelessness. Even though it was an accident the weight of all that is on him and he gets to sit in jail for the rest of his life thinking about it.

Plus all those children that were friends of the little girl.

Jeff, this is what got me started its why I am working so hard on this. All the good intentions and training in the world aren't any good if you let your guard down.

You say your a grandfather, put yourself in that guys place and now tell me it isn't a good idea?

Mike, throughout this thread I have explained to you over and over why I believe it is not a good idea.

While I mourn terribly for the grandfather and parents you describe ... and would mourn terribly if such a tragedy ever claimed one of my own ... I have told you what I do to prevent it ... education and training ... and what I would do in that event ... take solace from my God.

What I am not willing to do is EVER give my kids or grandkids the idea that a firearm or ammunition can be safe. It is dangerous to concieve of any such notion. I never want them to go down that path because that path ultimately leads to the complete aborgation of firearms rights and to tyranny.

You may not believe so ... you may not think so ... you may not see it. That's fine ... in my opinion you should mix your study of "accidental" shootings (and I believe the percentages and the statistics are tainted and add many things which are not true accidents) with a little more study on tyranny and what our founders established and why with the 2nd amendment ... what their philosophy was. Whether you ever believe it or not will be your affair ... and, as I said, that is fine, it is your right.

But I believe that any path in that direction leads to a fate worse than death and I will not take a step that way.

As Patrick Henry said,

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery! Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
