Exactly what HouseCat said.
1. If we ever have a gun, with children in the house (or even people visiting), the gun would be in a LOCKED safe UNLOADED.
2. If we ever needed said gun in a hurry, we wouldn't have access to it because it would be in said LOCKED safe UNLOADED.
3. This is assuming that never, not even once, have I (or DH) ever left the gun safe unlocked and/or the gun loaded, because that is a recipe for a tragedy.
So, for my scenario the choice, CUSO, is rather this:
Would you rather have a gun and not be able to use it in a dangerous scenario, and risk someone in your household misusing it disastrously, or would you rather not have a gun?
