1. It is all about risk management.

Proper storage is a good thing.

2. Proper storage didn't help the 5 people who were wounded by accidental

shootings at 3 different gun shows on Gun Appreciation Day. When you finally take a gun out of "proper storage," stuff happens.

3. True, but that is not the topic for this thread.

Following the Four Rules of Gun Safety is a good thing.

4. Are you a member of the thread police? The accidental shootings

at the gun shows are similar to accidental shootings that occur in people's homes -- once those guns are taken out of "proper storage."

5. I was just pointing out the polite thing to do.

Instead of hijacking this thread, you could start one of your own with your different topic.

Unfortunately, most of those shootings are not accidental but negligent.

6. The shootings at the gun shows are similar to many that occur in the home

once guns are taken out of storage.

The point is that even "responsible gun owners" can screw up, and they do, regularly.
