[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]I don't because I think it provides a false sense of security. If someone says they don't, they could be lying because they're concerned about social repercussions. Of if they say yes but it's stored in a biometric safe with the ammo in a different safe in a different part of the house, they might actually be very lax about unloading the weapon and storing everything properly, or maybe, again, they're lying and it's loaded and unlocked under their mattress. [b]My focus instead is on educating my children about what to do if they ever encounter one.[/b][/quote] Studies have proven this works only 8 out of 10 times. I do it but I don't have much faith it would work - just hoping my boys will be the 2 who behave accordingly. I also always ask. But I also teach my boys to never point a toy gun, finger as a gun, or anything resembling a weapon at any living thing ever. [/quote]
