Here in Washington State we have had two children die in one week due to carelessness by adults and curious children. People, this is easy. If you have a gun in the house for personal protection and you have children, use a child proof lock/trigger guard, gun vault or "Safety Bullets" and follow the directions for whatever one you use. If you have a CCL and are traveling with children while strapped, keep the god dam gun on your person in a good quality holster - there is no excusable reason to leave it under your car seat or in the glove box. Also, teach your children about guns, how to be safe around them and eliminate the mystique that compels kids to pick one up and explore it.
