>On the gun issue and your questions to Kevin Marois...we have an electronic lock box. We were told early on that trigger locks were a joke, and from what I've read about them, I tend to agree with that. I think lock boxes are the best solution, but I'm not as stunned by Mike Cole's answer as other people are.

>We teach kids about crossing the street, riding a bike (and driving a car!), about drugs and alcohol, about other dangers....why is this any different? Suppose a kid is at another kid's house, and they come across a gun....I'll bet that if the kid is trained about the dangers of guns in the same way he's trained about other dangers, all will be better off.

Nope. Never have, never will. And I'd never have knowingly let my kids visit a home with a gun in it. When mine were little, we never though to ask, but I know my sister asks.
