What a timely topic.

Yesterday I was switching the laser grips on my two j-frames. I did this at home, at mydesk, in front of the computer. I unloaded both guns, of course, and began the switch-over. After I was done i reloaded both guns. I put mine in it's safe place by the door. The other belongs in a safe in my wife's car.

After putting my gun in it's spot I received a phone call. I wander when I'm on te phone, so I ended up in the garage sorting loose ammo in the safe while I talked. When my call was over my wife came out and started talking to me, it was then that I realized that I had left her gun, loaded, on the desk. I ran inside to find my 5 year son at the desk playing......on the computer. My wife freaked and I, of course, felt horible, but relieved as well.

I had him pause the game and, with my wife there, asked him some questions. Had he seen the gun? Yes. Did he touch the gun? NO Daddy. I asked him what he was supposed to do if he ever found one of daddy's guns. Stop...don't touch...get a grown up, he said. My wife was impressed...I don't think she knew that I had gone over that routine with him (Iknow...I should have gone over it with her too). What did you not do? I asked my son. Get an adult he said. Why I asked. because I wanted to play games he said.

Everything was fine...but a good and serious lesson was learned by all. And no...I haven't heard the end of it yet.
