Hi all ~
Please read carefully before you answer ... I don't want this thread to get derailed into any of the half-dozen directions I could see it going.
Given:
Family with very little money.
Small Children.
And one gun, a long gun, which they want to use for home defense.
They don't have the money for a safe, and one of the children is autistic/hyperactive so telling them to "educate the kids," while a good first step, is NOT going to be a good complete plan for this family. Please don't derail the thread by lecturing about that point!
Saving up for a safe is a good long term goal, but it's not helpful for the short term. The money just isn't there. Please don't derail the thread in that direction, either.
The family does need a defense gun, because they live in a bad neighborhood. Again, telling them to move would not be helpful: they're broke, they're working hard to fix that, but in the meantime they are doing the best they can with what they have. Please don't derail the thread by telling them to move. They can't.
So here is the question: How do you suggest they store the long gun?
