I'm right there with ya, I wish kids could be reliably taught that guns are unsafe. But kids are kids...They don't have the thinking capacity yet to comprehend dangerous things unless they remember it hurting or being unpleasant. I know when I have kids all the firearms will be in a safe, the very least they will have breach locks on them.

That's one thing you could get, a breach lock for the shotgun, keep it loaded, and have the key in a good spot close. You could have the lock off quickly and you'd just have to close the breach to get a shell in the chamber. Still slightly cumbersome...but better than having a loaded gun laying around.
