I don't trade convenience for safety.
I also keep the bleach in the garage instead of on the floor of the living room, so by your logic, It must be too dangerous to clean?
I will always take all the measures I can to protect those I love, and when you have some that are a bit too young to know better, you go the extra bit to reduce the risks around the house.
Friend, see my post #17. My kids are mostly grown now and 2 of 3 are moved out on their own. Never had any kind of problem, as far as guns are concerned. Incidentally, I also taught them things like the proper, safe use of power tools, electricity, potential dangers of heavy machinery, etc. as soon as they could understand.
