I was raised around weapons of various types, and then the Army taught me how to use them efficiently during the days of Vietnam.

The primary purpose of most pistols and rifles is for killing. Despite knowing how to use them I have not had one in my home since 1976. To have weapons of any sort in a home where children are present is irresponsible parenting. Some gun advocates may disagree, but so few people store firearms safely. Children access them and then disasters happen. I have seen too many teenagers commit suicide with firearms found in the home in my 21 years of teaching.

Then there are those situations that involve depression. Too tempting.

If a firearm must be kept in a home, then it should have a trigger lock, and the keys should be stored in a safe deposit box, or any place else that makes access a little more difficult.

Remote locations like Alaska, requires firearms for protection from some of those knarly critters..but in the city there really is no justifiable reason to posses one.
