Other than my personal carry which stays on my person (or a quick open safe in my nightstand when I’m sleeping), the rest of mine are locked in a safe unloaded, with their magazines stored in a different smaller safe.
If my kids were able to get to the guns, they pose no damage. They would need to be able to get into both safes and intentionally load them to pose any threat to anything.
If that’s the case probably not charge. I’m sure that’s happened at some point. But kids are playing with guns that are just left out in a lot of these cases and for those, yeah, maybe someone should face charges.
That’s true but in these cases has the gun actually ever been properly stored in a locked safe and the kid nicked the key or something?
As a gun owner, that’s still improper storage.

Thanks for the insight.

Yep mistakes happen of course but most if not all of the time it’s just neglect.
