    Would having them around in a disabled state give you the oportunity to expose your children to guns for their own safety with out the risk of injury?

    Sure...you are 100% correct. But I cannot bring myself to disable them besides a trigger lock and keeping amnuition out of the home. Also, I intend to have the children 'handle' them as often as necassary be it at target range or at home. I just think a person can't be to cautious with a thing like this. So, I am looking at every option available. Hey don't worry, I can handle it. I took something. I can see things no one else can see. Why are you dressed like that? - Jack Burton

    Trigger locks are garbage. Anyone with a small screwdriver can remove them in a few seconds. Secondly the gun can still be fired with a triggerlock in place as it places a rod over the trigger. Believe me I am a reserve deputy and firearm instructor. I know this area very very well. A cable lock that goes through the "magazine" area or through the barrel is best. A safe works. Remove the firing pin and leave that seperate. Even if locked in a safe you need to clean the guns regularly or they will get surface rust. Place a golden rod in the safe or a can of desicant to keep the moisture out.

      Live with!??? Hell they should be jailed themselves. Just because we have the right to own firearms doesn’t mean we have the right to be idiots. It was her parent's responsibility to not only educate them about firearms but secure them from her. I own a few myself. Each has a lock on the trigger also; they are locked in a large combination safe. What kind of moron leaves a loaded gun in their home where a child can get to it? Hey don't worry, I can handle it.

      IANAL. However, every range where I live has it plastered all over the walls that under FEDERAL LAW, leaving a firearm where a child is likely to be, or is able to obtain it is an automatic felony. 5 year sentance. Very sad, very preventiable.

        Mine were they only things my father left behind besides debt so I can't convince myself to get rid of them. So, I keep them under double lock & key in my garage. When my son comes next year I may have to rethink it. I hope I can find something like a safe deposit box to store them for me. Hey don't worry, I can handle it. I took something.

        Are you insane? Can you imagine showing up at the door of the bank with your gun collection saying, "Hi, I'd like to store these in your vault."
