Don't be stupid. Leaving a gun unsecured in your home is just looking for trouble. Maybe your kids are sensible enough to be trusted (although even sensible kids can turn into complete strangers when the puberty fairy comes through and turns them temporarily insane); but maybe not their friends. And you don't want to arm a burglar--especially if you walk in while they are still in the house. From the May 12, 2009 Idaho Statesman:
Marcos Jaramillo, 12, of Homedale died at 11:48 p.m. Monday at Saint Alphonsus Regional Medical Center in Boise, the Ada County coroner said Tuesday.
The boy was shot in the head by a 14-year-old girl at about 2 p.m. Sunday at a home in Marsing as he was watching TV with a friend, according to the Owyhee County Sheriff's Office.
The girl found the .25-caliber semi-automatic pistol in the closet of a residence she was visiting.
She brought the pistol into the living room, where she accidentally fired one round. The boy was hit in the right side of the head.
