P.08 as a home defense weapon ?

To the fellows who have their weapons acessible in their home--do you not worry about a child or scared wife accidentally shooting themselves or someone else at the height of a scare? I also have a 9 year old son who is trained since he could talk about guns and hunting, but there is still the off chance that a friend may talk him into looking at the piece or the wife being alone and hearing you stagger in late after some good drinks and shooting an innocent person? It seems to me that this is the type of weapon ownership that the anti gun nuts are attacking; and, they use that as ammo to get these crazy laws passed. Even before these new laws came into effect here I always had a trigger lock on all my guns for that "what if?" situation. I realise that I may make some enemies with this post, but for God's sake be careful. In Canada, if the police were to come to your home for any reason and seen a loaded weapon in each room, you would probably be cuffed and your guns taken indefinitely. I would hate to see this stuff happen in the last country with fair gun laws. Just food for thought and hope I don't offend anybody.
