And thats all it is. You dont see people locking up there hedge trimmers and chainsaws and rakes. A gun is a tool, it needs to be treated like a tool.
Education is a big factor in this. Its pretty simple. I have been around guns my whole life. Being educated on guns, its was no big deal when I saw one. Show some kid a gun today they want to touch it and play with it. The father in laws house is full of loaded guns. Everywhere you look there is a gun sitting or hanging somewhere. All the kids that go through that house there is never a problem or one gun out of place. Weather we are inside or outside. No one is worried that anything is going to happen. Reason being is because each generation is around guns, they are educated and taught to respect a gun.
I have multiple loaded guns in my house and there is never been a problem. The kids in this house know not to touch them. The dont play with my tools. Why because they can get cut on a tool or stabbed by it. Why dont you think they touch my guns? Because they know what can happen.
I know someone it going to respond and say well there are kids that dont listen and they WILL touch it or play with it someday. NO they wont, its the respect of the gun. They have seen what it can do, knowing all well what it can do to them or someone else if something were to go off. When there friends come over. Its not like they say hey look at this gun. Because its just like the potato chip on the floor. They see it all the time and dont do anything about it.
When we shoot out in Rockbridge, we tell a 12 year old to go get this or that gun (everyone knows its loaded) and he brings it out with no worries.
