They are expecting . He has a 44. Plus a whole bunch of other rifles and stuff.

My brother said they have a really good gun safe and also some kind of gun safe that is beside the bed. But what worries me are the times someone comes in, lays the gun on the table meaning to put it away, and forgets that it's there, gets busy and just walks away.

It just makes me so nervous to have any guns in the house with kids. I remember what my brother and I were like. There wasn't anything that we didn't manage to find a way to get into.

I am not especially anti gun but guns and kids just don't mix.
