There's a key to use if the batteries die, but like I said, 4+ years now for me.

Training and awareness. My dad's always had weapons around his house (as I do now around mine) but I never felt a need to snoop because I knew exactly what they were, how to use them, and how dangerous they really were.

This question is inspired by the gun threads that have been floating around here. I'd like to get a firearm for self defense, maintained in a self defense status, ie no trigger lock or safe, but I also have a 15mo old son. How in the world are you supposed to maintain a firearm that is easily accessible for self defense purposes, while at the same time keeping ut out of the hands of your child or his curious friends as he grows up? Is there a technology solution, a training solution with the child, combination of both? For those with firearms and children, what is your take?

Teaching your children about guns is probably the best way to prevent them from playing with a gun if they find one. The problem is that your child's friends might have parent's that are anti gun and wouldn't even let their child touch a toy gun. If one of these children happen to pick up your gun, then the chances of something bad happening go way up.

So accidental child deaths from guns come more from children of anti-gun homes rather than homes where people own guns? I think you better check the numbers on that one.
I had a zillion toy guns as a kid, but no real guns in the house. I was never taught "gun safety" by my folks other than common sense I might have learned on 90210 (don't twirl a gun around on your finger or, shocker, it might go off). I think my chances of getting shot were a bit lower than if a real gun were in the house.
