A couple of flaws gejohnston Jan 2012 #54

Not every child would learn from a block of ice. The young teen I know who was accidentally killed pnwmom Jan 2012 #56

kids are grown gejohnston Jan 2012 #58

I have firearms in my house.... liberal_biker Jan 2012 #59

In the scenario you describe, in most states you would have both legal and moral responsibility. pnwmom Jan 2012 #60

Nope - not true at all. liberal_biker Jan 2012 #61

Good luck with that argument in a CIVIL suit. (Check with your homeowner's insurance agent pnwmom Jan 2012 #64

Hate to tell ya liberal_biker Jan 2012 #66

Like I said, talk to your homeowner's insurance agent. pnwmom Jan 2012 #69

Nope sorry but you're wrong. liberal_biker Feb 2012 #72

Your insurance agent would be able to tell you about CIVIL liability, pnwmom Feb 2012 #77

You couldn't be more wrong. At least 28 states have safe storage laws, not 1. pnwmom Feb 2012 #86

Nope - still right. liberal_biker Feb 2012 #88

You are wrong. Texas DOES have "safe storage/child access prevention laws." pnwmom Feb 2012 #103

Try again liberal_biker Feb 2012 #107

You said that Texas didn't have a child access law. And you were wrong. pnwmom Feb 2012 #109

You seem to be under the impression they are not secured.... liberal_biker Feb 2012 #110

I gave you the actual statute, and you're still complaining about my source? pnwmom Feb 2012 #111
