Firearm Safety and Storage

Today, I would like to take a minute to talk about firearm storage and safety. This article was inspired by a horrifying incident that happened to Mama about 2 weeks ago. She was at her parents house, which was being inhabited by her brother. Her brother is an avid firearm owner and owns a number of handguns and long rifles. This never really struck us as odd because he had attended the proper safety classes and had even made references to having a concealed carry permit. This is what we thought, until Mama went with baby to the house to help in the moving out process. Baby was walking/crawling around when she saw a plastic drawer set, so she crawled over to it and pulled the drawers out. Fortunately Mama was watching Baby closely and notices the two handguns in the drawer that baby pulled out. Mama checked them and found that not only were they loaded, but they had a round in the chamber and the safety was off. Hopefully this horrifies most of our readers and they can pick out the flaws with this situation, but just in case, I am going to take a few moments and discuss some of the points of firearm storage and safety for any house.
