(10,136 posts)1. It is all about risk management.
Proper storage is a good thing.

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

(10,136 posts)3. True, but that is not the topic for this thread.
Following the Four Rules of Gun Safety is a good thing.

(108,953 posts)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."

(10,136 posts)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.

once guns are taken out of storage.
The point is that even "responsible gun owners" can screw up, and they do, regularly.
