Off-topic: Something for home defense?

[E-Revonut]

Get the shotgun and hang it high on the wall where you can just barely reach it and don't keep anything around for the kids to use as a step stool to get to it. However if you do get a gun I recomend teaching your kids about it and taking them with you to a range to shoot it. Although they may be far to young to actualy learn to use it and fire it let them see how loud it is and how much damage it can do. Growing up there where guns in my house and my brother and I both left them alone. There was no gunsafe until I was old enough to start my own collection and then my step mom thought that a safe would be a good idea for so many guns. I had a key to it though. First step to gun safety is gun education
