Reply #94: Your concerns can be addressed

Just the fact that you're thinking about the problem puts you half way to solving it.

There are many different ways to secure a firearm from unauthorized use. If you get a good cable lock, you can secure any handgun from operation. There are small locking cabinets, small safes, fireproof strong boxes. Depending upon how accessible you want the firearm to be to you, there are many other options that will greatly reduce the risk.

If you consider the firearm to be just another household hazard, you can figure out a way to reduce that hazard to very near zero.

You've probably childproofed your house before ... you can do it again, and you can childproof firearms, too.
