[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand the people that think it's none of anyone's business. There are thousands of accidental gun deaths per year[b] because parents don't keep their guns locked up[/b]. It's a legit concern and completely valid question to ask if you are sending your child over to a friend's house, especially if you don't know the parents that well. [/quote]

We keep our weapons locked up. There will be no accidental deaths. If, God forbid, one of our guns ever causes a death, it will be intentional, that I can assure you.

Therefore, it's none of your business what we have LOCKED UP.[/quote]

Why are you so sure that you and your spouse are perfect? [/quote]

We're certainly not perfect. But our weapons are locked in a safe. [/quote]

How often do you take them out? You don't take them to a range?[/quote]

I’m not the PP, but another gun owner. We take them to the range. To do so, we unlock the door, unlock the safe, unlock trigger locks, and load ammo. The guns get put in a designated carrier to the range. After they are fired, back in the bag, back home, trigger locks, safe, locked door. It’s not like you lose track of guns, wtf?[/quote]

So do no gun ranges allow you to store your weapon there? I know nothing about it, just wondering if its purely for recreational use, why you can't store it over there. [/quote]

Yes, some do offer it, but it’s not common. It wouldn’t work for us as DH insists on going by the book and cleaning his guns after every single range session. That would add a ton of time to each trip and I’m not even sure where we could do the cleaning on site. [/quote]
