I have been broken into a couple of times. Fortunately, no one was home. But we could have been. Other houses nearby have been broken into during the night and the day. So I keep loaded guns around - usually pistols.
When my kids were small, we kept them in places where it would be hard for the kids to get to the pistols. Plus training of the kids. Now days, when the kids come into town to visit, the first things they do is look for and move all of the pistols. Basically this is for the younger grandchildren as the older ones are proficient. One grandson took his first deer when he was 11. He is now 12. His older brother was as proficient. The ones 7 years old and under are the reason why the pistols are moved higher.
