[quote=Anonymous]We asked this of our potential future nanny share partners (DD was going to their house at least 50% of the time) and decided that we wouldn't say yes to anyone who had firearms full stop. I totally get that, especially in DC, some people need them for their jobs... but I just don't trust that other people are going to correctly store them 100% of the time and my kid is going to be alone in their house w/ a nanny who likely doesn't have any firearms training and who they may not even have told about the weapons. No thanks. Ironically, when we settled on a family, they said they did have guns... the H's old skeet shooting rifles; luckily, the W had been getting on him to get rid of them before their kid got older (kids were pre-crawling at the time), so they shipped them off to his parents' house.

Anyway, for drop off playdates I'm OK w/ secured well b/c it's for a short period and I assume the parents who are watching them are familiar w/ weapon safety/where the weapons are and are probably on hyper alert because I asked. I always ask though.[/quote]
