One of my son’s friend’s family literally has guns lying around the house. On a table, leaning on the wall, on a shelf. He stopped being allowed to hang out with that friend.
It’s like fire safety. Of course you teach a kid about fire safety but leaving a bunch of matches and gas cans lying around is going to increase the likelihood that someone gets burned. Education should be used in conjunction with proper storage, not in place of it.
Dude, it’s ridiculous how much of an angel my kid is, but they continually make bonehead decisions, and it’s a safe bet they’ll continue to for years to come.
Parent who think their kids know gun safety, no longer bother to keep their kids safe from guns.
The percentage of parents who think education is a proper replacement for proper storage is too high.

Just take them, they go for quite much on the black market.
With the number lying around he probably would not notice to report them missing.
“my perfect flawless child would NEVER do anything bad with the guns he has free access to!!”
