re: Gun Safe Question

Before my dad started his business and my mom found a job as a doctor (was doing residencies for surgery) and we didn't have much money and I was 4 my dad would put the guns in a box and duct tape it shut and say if I opened it all a clown would jump out and steal all my toys. But then he eventually bought a safe when my little brother was born LOL and recently upgraded.

Now that I think back that was a horrible idea on his part but thankfully he taught me to respect firearms since I knew we had them but no clue where.

Edit: call me crazy but I think any smart kid who you can trust who is 10+ should have in-home access god forbid he ever needs it.
