So what happens when a neighbor kid comes over to visit, and finds your
loaded gun in the house?

Not everyone has neighboring children, and some actually limit their
in-home company to those who share their values, attitudes & beliefs.

The gun I take with me to Lake Cumberland, stays in one of those Simplex
lock boxes...quick access, but secure from anybody else.

Perhaps if you were more diplomatic & popular there, you wouldn't need
it. :-)

Think you could do me a favor, and email me your address? I want to make
sure my family and myself stays away from your home.

This would not have been any problem - my children & I were not
inclined to suffer intrusive fools within or around our happy & safe
sanctuary; local laws still call any who cannot stay away
"trespassers" & authorities deal with them accordingly.
