[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you just ask in a straightforward way. Just note that you may not get an honest answer, for any number of reasons.[/quote]

We have some friends in law enforcement.  They were more than willing to show us how they secured their firearms, because they recognize that gun safety is important.  I don't care if someone owns firearms or not, I care that they secure them properly so that children can't accidentally get a hold of them.  And yes, I teach my kid never to touch a gun and, if she sees one, she should immediately inform an adult, but I can't teach other kids, and kids make mistakes and do things that they aren't supposed to do.  So it's better that the guns are locked up.  And, IME, responsible gun owners have no problem telling you how they store their guns, but if someone lies to you about owning guns, there's not much you can do.  If my kid came home and reported that she saw a gun at someone else's house, there would be no more playdates at that house.  [/quote]
