DuRant encourages all pediatricians to talk with parents about safe gun storage practices. The safest practice would be to remove guns from the house, but if parents are unwilling to do that, they should lock them and store the ammunition separately, he said.And your qualifications to make these claims, Robert? And if a physician passes your advice on to a patient and someone gets hurt because of it, will their malpractice insurance cover them?
I can think of a couple different scenarios to test out your prescription. Maybe we could start with the Tueller Drill.
If pediatricians are giving advice on gun storage, maybe we should go to the local gun store for advice on raising children.

How do they define "stored safely"?
ReplyDeleteSafe storage laws are just another means of blaming the gun owner for the actions of others. Gun safety education and training is much more important than storing your guns "safely". That's why such courses should be mandatory in our schools. Gun safety is a "life skill" from which everyone can benefit.
