Don't have any little ones anymore, but when we did, our bedroom door was always locked unless my wife or I were in there. There are a number of items or methods to keep guns away from kids nowadays. But I always kept there curiosity satisfied all the while they were growing up. Education is everything when it comes to gun safety !!Yep, I think the same, lock the guns and ammo but leave your favorite on the nightstand. I don't have youngsters, if I did the one on the nightstand would be hidden but close..
