> ... but what if he had access to an AR-15?
The question you need to be asking is, why would you let him have access to any gun, AR-15 or otherwise?
If you own any guns, you have a responsibility to keep them away from unauthorized users, like your son. In this example, a true gun safe would be required, not a lock box, not a cable lock, but a true gun safe. Obviously, you would not be sharing the lock combination with him.
