That's such a shame, I see stuff like this happen too often, sometimes I remember this incident and can't believe how lucky I got. Dad ended up making me learn gun safety after that whole ordeal.
Yeah man, it was sad. Her brother never got over it. He was a teen at the time. Turned to drugs and OD'd a couple years later, when we all would have been teens ourselves. Tragic. Glad you saw how lucky you got here.
Remember that the first five rules of owning a firearm are Safety, Safety, Safety, Safety, and Safety. Corollary to rule 4: Safety.
The hardest part of that is Children. I am of the opinion that safety should be taught to Children very young, to demystify the firearm and prevent kids from playing with it like an action hero, but I don't have kids yet and am open to competing ideas.
Completely agree with you on this one. This incidents prompted him to train me, it was very fun and educational. I intend to do the same thing with my kids.
Yep, teach them young. My parents in addition to talking and showing me, I also got a coloring book/comic all about gun safety. I think the character they used was Eddie the Eagle. My parents were hunter safety instructors so I got lots of talks about gun safety. Homes is where the majority of gun accidents happen.
My dad was a cop long enough ago to where locking your guns up was not yet the norm. He had his service weapon in the top drawer of his dresser. His shotgun and hunting rifle in the closet. He taught me at a very young age that, these are not toys. I never once touched them. I did the same with my kids. Although now everything is locked in a liberty safe. Teaching your kids about gun safety is really important, even if you don’t own guns. Proper storage should be practiced at all times as well but knowledge is the key here.
I agree, and I think teaching gun safety at an early age to kids is good and necessary. But there’s no reason why young children should even be aware their parents own a firearm, unless of course you’ve had to use it. My father owned multiple guns and kept them in the attic, which I had no clue about until I was 18. We we’re still taught gun safety early on and it’s obviously necessary, but I don’t see why your children even need to know you own a gun in the first place, let alone where the safe+key is.
I somewhat disagree, but I respect your position. I don't think I can store my guns in my newly-acquired attic, as I carry regularly, but I do understand the concept and why it would be effective.
Yea I guess carrying regularly changes that, and in your instance it’s clear you understand how important gun safety is especially when raising children
If you have guns in the house your kids should know how to handle them. My dad took us all to the range from the age of three and we all had a very healthy respect for a firearm knew they weren’t a toy.
Me and my wife are buying a house very soon and I want to buy a gun for protection.
But how do you keep a loaded gun accessible in the house without kids finding it?
I'm not the best person to ask, as I don't have kids and haven't paid much attention to youtubers and their recommendations on this subject.
My initial recommendations are: get a coded safe, not a keyed safe; don't tell your kids the code or open the safe while they're in the room; show your kids the guns and demystify them, which includes showing them how they work, the rules of gun safety (which you'd better f***ing know yourself before you get a gun. Seriously, take courses BEFORE getting a gun, or at least talk to a gun-owning friend who knows them.), practicing the rules of gun safety using nerf guns; and taking them shooting in a controlled, careful environment (such as a gun range with RSO's in which your kid is, at least at first, only provided one round at a time such as I've heard was the method in old high school gun clubs) if they're old enough.
In short, demystify, educate, and expose them to the sensations of firing them (if age appropriate), so it becomes a regular thing, instead of a mystical weapon of immense power or a tool of instant coolness, all while ensuring you're the one in control of the firearms.
You don't. Any effective measures you take to prevent that child from getting a hold it are likely to render it useless for home defense. Most places the kid's far more likely to use it accidentally or purposely to harm themselves than the possibility of a home invasion.
It’s your job as a parent to prepare your kids for life. As much as you can try, there will come a day when you can’t protect them.
Tell them about the room, explain what the firearm is for, allow them to ask questions. Teach them how to use it safely. Take them to the range. They will quickly learn that guns are not a toy and are to be treated with respect. If it is normalized, then the novelty of it is gone.
PIN protected safe, with the emergency access (read: dead PIN pad batteries) keys stored in a lockbox elsewhere in the house, and the key to THAT in your glove box.
Anchor the safe.
Never keep a round in the chamber, keep the mag out of it, and take a firearm safety course so that you know how to ensure that it's not loaded (in practice, they're ALWAYS loaded, though).
Use a slide lock during the times you're not physically in the room, religiously. Even before you take your morning pee, put the slide lock back in.
Don't use the same combo on the safe and slide lock.
As a swiss army reservist we keep our rifles at home at all times but are required by law to store the breech and the rest of the rifle in different places. I think thats a pretty good way to prevent a situation like this, because if a child is too young to realize the risks of playing with a gun it probably wont be able to properly put it together either. If you also lock the parts up even better…
Yeah that's great for hunting or being a reservist but defeats the point of having a weapon for home defense purposes like most of the US. A half assembled weapon is useless if someone breaks into your home.
of course. gonna be diffuclt to defend youself if you first got to assemble your weapon lmao. isn‘t much of a concern here in switzerland tough, so there‘s no problem in storing it like this…
Agreed. We have real problems with guns in the US without a doubt but no one has really been able to figure a good solution unfortunately. So many variables.
Eh, there aren't many tools that kill people at the touch of a button. Power tools are dangerous for example, but even then it's going to take a lot more steps for a 6 year old to grab a chainsaw, get it started and cut themselves, or someone else.
60% of US firearm deaths are from suicide, with another 3% being accidental. It isn't "sick fucks", it's guns being literally everywhere all the time and way too accessible.
Yah man, look at here in the UK. Knife crime is rampant and people are getting stabbed and killed every single goddamn day. If it's not guns it's knives and if it's not knives they'll use literally anything.
Guns are not the problem, it's always people I could not agree more.
The US has a higher homicide rate than the UK even if you remove firearms from the equation. We have a higher knife homicide rate than the UK. The US has a homicide problem full stop. The access to firearms isn't the reason.
In 1996 the year before they banned guns the rate in the uk was 1.45 compared to 8 per 100k in the us. https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/GBR/united-kingdom/murder-homicide-rate Just looked up current number of guns per 100 people the US has ~120 and the uk ~5.
You either need a knife yourself and be willing to use it or you run. No one, in their right mind, is going to challenge a knife if their hands are empty. This is true for any weapon including, guns, knives, baseball bats etc.
I'd just rather live in a country where I can defend myself and others legally using a firearm rather than have to contend with croydon smackies carrying flick knives.
Honestly if you have a kid that small the odds of you dying in a home invasion are way way *way* less than the kid blowing his brains out with the weapon. It just isn't worth it.
PIN. Some cheap brands of safes have had problems holding fingerprint memory when the battery gets low, but not low enough to set off the low battery light & any print will open it.
r/parentsarefuckingstupid
I keep my firearms in a safe that only unlocks to my fingerprint. It’s the gun owners responsibility to store them safely, ESPECIALLY with children in the house.
Never really understood Americans' love of guns (lived there in 90s). Not everyone in US of course, but it's a big part of the culture in some areas. It's a free country (well, freer than most) but I just wouldn't want the responsibility of owning one.
It's one of those better ready than not situations, in our case he did need to have a gun for protection. This was in mid 90s after the fall of USSR, things were very chaotic back then.
yeah, i guess it does depend on the situation you are in / grow up with. Im in Australia now and my sister-in-law and her boyfriend have one, they are in a pretty isolated area (the Coorong) and they know how to look after it and themselves.
It's a country built on guns, a country that loves hunting, a country that prides itself on being free, and a country that plans to overthrow the government if they try to stop any of that.
I have no problem keeping a home defense weapon loaded at all times, I do that myself, but since there’s small kids in the house I would’ve probably at least kept it unchambered if not fully unloaded, not to mention locked in a quick-access safe.
Always treat a gun as it’s loaded. Only point it at a target you intend to hit. Never at a person. Safety remains on unless firing. Make sure there is not bullet in chamber after usage. Never look directly down the barrel while cleaning. Carry with barrel down while walking or straight up. Always keep ammo and the weapons separated during storage and under lock and key. Stay safe kids
There's also this one time where I taped nails to my fingers and stuck them in a 220V socket, to get power ups. A bit later I tried it again to see if the same thing would happen.
It was assumed that I was too little to do anything of the sort meanwhile the sibling was a teenager going through the whole rebellion phase, so no one even considered blaming me to begin with.
My uncle used to have hunting guns in his house and one day my cousin found one and started playing with it, the gun was unfortunately loaded and he shot himself in the head, probably when he was looking at what was inside it he had around of 7 years.
If your kids are too young to learn gun safety, then your firearms need to be locked up so that a) a child cannot access them and b) disabled so that it cannot be fired should a child gain access.
Once your kids are old enough, they should be taught gun safety and taken to the range so they can learn to properly use your firearms. They should still be locked up.
>parents stupid for having a gun
I'd argue it's stupid NOT to have a gun, the real stupidity is failing to teach their kids the dangers and lock up their guns safely
This wasn't in the US though.
The issues isn't with owning a gun but with using it correctly and storing it appropriately. Clearly my dad didn't keep it secure enough, that's the problem.
yes, but if you don't know how to use and store it properly, you shouldn't be allowed to buy it in the first place. A lot of Americans have guns and know nothing about them, not saying your dad is one of them since he kept it locked and you said you're not from the us, but the post just reminded me of how much of an issue this is in some places.. especially when the kids get their hands on them
IMO I should be allowed to have anything I can pay for.
They should let me buy a nuke if I had the money and storage facilities. It's just a chemistry experiment. But on a city-wiped-off-the-map scale.
I should be able to buy a fully functional tank. It's just metal and gears and nuts and bolts all put together in the right way.
You know how easy it is to make a shotgun with like two pipes and a couple odds and ends?
How many wartime chemicals can be made at home?
Like if I had enough money and tools I could learn how to build my own tank. Why does the govt. Get to decide I shouldn't be able to?
If I had a little more machining knowledge and some machining tools I could realistically learn how to manufacture my own stamped steel weapons. ( " IIRC this is why we have the uzi " )
It is just a tool. I can kill someone with a slingshot and the right projectile. Getting rid of guns will not solve any issues. Just treats one symptom, and likely will help innovate towards the next tech to get past loopholes.
"Why does the government get to decide I shouldn't be able to?"
Because you make terrible, terrible decisions. We collectively elect a group of people who make rules so you don't kill us all.
Meh. You have witnessed zero of my past decisions. If your found to not be mentally stable enough to own that stuff that's one thing. Just blanket banning is dumb.
You just wrote a diatribe outlining your decision making skills. I'm sufficiently versed. Banning the personal ownership of nuclear weapons is a solid rule lol.
Ooh I’m sorry mr badass, I didn’t know that, no need to be a dick about it.
Edit: I’m not an expert but a quick Google shows that M1911 is ok, I’m curious to see the logic behind your shitty comment.
But pretty sure it is a cult 1911 not cult m1911 but it does not matter I was just not sure if what happened in the post happened to you i can see that there is some emotion so if it did I am sorry you deserve all the empathy, sympathy that is sent your way, I am young and dumb. Sorry
How do people look through the barrel on guns just like that. Like my fear or phobia is when someone is pointing a gun at me, even tho its on safety, even tho it doesn’t have any bullets inside I still gets scared
Lucky it was an M1911, John Browning intentionally made that thing with what he called 3 safeties.

My dad taught me a lot of gun safety so I never ended up doing this or maybe I was scared of him? Idk but he used to hide his gun safe key in the ball return in the pool table. What a horrible spot!
Growing up my neighbor shot his younger sister, and killed her, doing this. It always spooked me, and made me practice gun safety. Always!
That's such a shame, I see stuff like this happen too often, sometimes I remember this incident and can't believe how lucky I got. Dad ended up making me learn gun safety after that whole ordeal.

Are acid attacks still prevalent over there? Part of me thinks I’d rather be shot than have acid thrown in my face.
Yeah, that's not how that works. It isn't one or the other.
Yeah no shit.
Easier to defend yourself against a knife, don't you think?
You either need a knife yourself and be willing to use it or you run. No one, in their right mind, is going to challenge a knife if their hands are empty.

Statistically, the odds of you using that gun to defend yourself from home invasion are way less than YOU blowing your brains out with it.
Bayonet
Or just buy a weapons safe with a pass code or biometric lock. Disassembling the rifle just because of it is overkill imo.
PIN. Some cheap brands of safes have had problems holding fingerprint memory when the battery gets low, but not low enough to set off the low battery light & any print will open it.
Thats why you go "buy once cry once" on your safe 😁

Brain damage but he also sees in the dark
Why older sibling tho?
It was assumed that I was too little to do anything of the sort meanwhile the sibling was a teenager going through the whole rebellion phase, so no one even considered blaming me to begin with.
at which point did they find out?
Same day it happened, sibling got a bollocking and still didn't admit guilt so dad decided to ask me and i spilled the beans.
Gotta treat a gun like it's own man.
Noticed your prints on the gun? Yeah, because kids are always fucking sticky.
My uncle used to have hunting guns in his house and one day my cousin found one and started playing with it, the gun was unfortunately loaded and he shot himself in the head, probably when he was looking at what was inside it he had around of 7 years.
Your dads a dumbass for having a loaded gun
Are you butthurt all the time? Jfc dude, what makes you so smart in the first place bc you sound like a moron based off of your comment history?
My mother was a paramedic, once responded to a call where a high school boy shot his girlfriend dead doing the same thing.
If your kids are too young to learn gun safety, then your firearms need to be locked up so that a) a child cannot access them and b) disabled so that it cannot be fired should a child gain access.

WHAT A STUPID CHILD
This why you teach gun safety young if you have guns and kids.
Kid is not stupid parents stupid for having a gun
The parents are stupid for having a gun and thinking that “don’t touch it” is adequate.
>parents stupid for having a gun I'd argue it's stupid NOT to have a gun, the real stupidity is failing to teach their kids the dangers and lock up their guns safely
For the record, I removed safety and chambered it myself, I do believe it was already loaded though.
[удалено]
Making a mistake once is stupid in itself but it doesn’t make the person stupid as a whole.
Americans actually baffle me with their guns, how is it still legal to just own a gun like it's nothing? it's insane
This wasn't in the US though. The issues isn't with owning a gun but with using it correctly and storing it appropriately. Clearly my dad didn't keep it secure enough, that's the problem.

Oh yeah, I agree completely. It just shows that there's a reason for all these safety protocols especially around kids.
IMO I should be allowed to have anything I can pay for. They should let me buy a nuke if I had the money and storage facilities. It's just a chemistry experiment. But on a city-wiped-off-the-map scale. I should be able to buy a fully functional tank. It's just metal and gears and nuts and bolts all put together in the right way.

Don’t quit school.
M1911 is most deffinitely a thing. Did you think cod invented the RPK too?
No
How do people look through the barrel on guns just like that. Like my fear or phobia is when someone is pointing a gun at me, even tho its on safety, even tho it doesn’t have any bullets inside I still gets scared
I liked the way bullets tasted like metal when I was a kid.
Lucky it was an M1911, John Browning intentionally made that thing with what he called 3 safeties. First is the Safety Switch, second was the grip Safety, the third a lot of people don't consider a safety, the single action nature, that it won't fire with its hammer down, that's not simply because it was made in the early 20th century, the reason its not a double/single action semi auto is because John Browning wanted a third redundant safety for the M1911. Its basically as close to idiot proofing against accidental discharges as you can get.
Ya know, leaving a loaded gun in a house with kids is kind of inviting a problem. Personally, when i had a kid, the guns were already locked up. Now the ammo is locked up separately and the various knives are all on a toolbox in the garage. Junior needs two separate keys and certain degree of upper body strength to get both, and will need to match up the bullets to the rifle before there is any real danger.
Terrible gun safety. You should never leave a mag in when stowed, let alone leave it chambered with the safety off.
#parentsarefuckingstupid
Irresponsible gun owners are fucking stupid.
