How safe is your stored ammo ??

[Great-Kazoo]

I'm telling you that that kids don't always do as they are told. Kids have shot themselves or others, that is fact and you cannot dispute that. Statically the risks associated with leaving an chambered gun unlocked is greater than the risk of armed home invasion.



The best way to secure weapons around kids is in a safe with a combo that they do not know and cannot figure out (no number or geometric patterns nor dates or numbers that they know). After you have a way to lock them up you need to educate them about safety, not just the later. Now you know the best way to secure weapons around kids, your welcome. If your saying that you don't want to do that and you want to leave them around then fine, that is your right under colorado law.

I do want YOU to find one experienced LEO (several years on the force) who will advocate for leaving loaded guns out around the house.
My Late Brother 23 yrs, not counting previous 8yrs attached to Attorney Generals office.

I would also like to apologize for hurting your feelings by advocating for personal responsibility in gun safety. (find me that LEO that says it's okay to leave loaded guns around before you retort that)

The only thing you seem to want, is to dictate to me and other gun owners , the only way to be responsible is to have guns unloaded and secure. You fit the "mold" Of an LE who feels you and only you know what is right and safe when it comes to owning guns, unfortunately.
Lucky for me the ones i know in LE feel & think differently. I'd drop names but you probably would be on the phone, in the am, to their Chief trying to jam them up.
IF you read my 1st post you might have realized (Careful Police Observation) there are NO Children in our home. NEVER, Unless accompanied by an adult. My guns are, once again loaded and accessible by me or my wife at a moments notice. Perhaps you think dialing 911 and wait, vs me or any gun owner IF a Threat was present, defend our self with a.................loaded gun, is the way to go.
Once again you have your beliefs and i have mine. It does appear i am not the only "Idiot" who thinks the same.

I believe your interpretation and mine are different regarding guns around the house. i don't have them casually laying about like the tv remote. They are accessible but out of sight.
The one point we agree on is Education of kids around firearms. It would be more conducive to teach firearm safety / awareness in school instead of programing them how bad guns are.
