he would spend the night at a friends house and then around 2AM he'd call and want to come home. I was always in fear that the owners might think he was a burglar and shoot him. I'd tell him to go back to the bedroom and wait until he heard my car.
Sad you can't feel your kid is safe in someones home.

Now days I'd ask if there were guns in the home and if so, he wouldn't be allowed to go there.

How many times did your child do this? Jenoch Dec 2013 #4

Why too young? He wasn't too young to recognize the gun fanciers are a threat to him and society. Hoyt Dec 2013 #6

Nope - lived through it. For three or so years until she found out most of her "friends" weren't. haele Dec 2013 #12

Nothing accidental here. Plenty of negligence though. ManiacJoe Dec 2013 #10
