BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
The Baton Rouge couple who was kidnapped and strangled comes from a family which dates back to the founding of Baton Rouge.
Baton Rouge police say a safe in the couple's home was found opened, but there has not been any speculation as to motive."This is unusual right here where we are, however this is the same scenario that's carried out every day all over our parish in different areas of our city," said Moore.
-only takes 1 time and you don't get a second chance to prepare yourself.
-putting guns where they are not easily accessible as well as firearms safety is a great idea.
-There are biometric safes that can be purchased for less than the cost of a firearm, you can keep your loaded weapon in it and your children won't be able to access it. 2 birds... 1.... bullet
Jennifer Hawke-Petit and her two daughters were raped and murdered, while her husband, Dr. William Petit, was injured during a home invasion in Cheshire, ConnecticutDuring this time, Hayes and Komisarjevsky escalated the aggravated nature of their crimes: Komisarjevsky raped the 11-year-old Michaela. Komisarjevsky, who had photographed the sexual assault of the girl on his cell phone then provoked Hayes into raping Jennifer. While Hayes was raping her on the floor of the living room, Komisarjevsky entered the room and announced that William Petit had escaped. Hayes then strangled Jennifer, doused her lifeless body and parts of the house, including the daughters' rooms, with gasoline. While tied to their beds, both daughters had been doused with gasoline; each had her head covered with a pillowcase.[18] A fire was started, and Hayes and Komisarjevsky fled the scene

The boys were home alone at the time, as their mother, 29-year-old Generra Brown, was across the street caring for an elderly neighbor, JPSO said.

The only time you need a gun... you need in right then.

Doesn't do much good for home defense if you have to retrieve it from a safe and load it first.
There are plenty of safes available that allow you to quickly retrieve a gun by just scanning your footprints or inputting a 20 digit pin.

Yes, it wore a thin spot in his back pocket. He carries a knife with the same frequency as a pocket knife. My dad wasn't careless, he didn't leave it out for me to find, which is exactly my point. I knew about guns, knew he had others in the safe. We went to the range several times growing up, taught me how to clean them. My dad is the reason I have a CCP.
I said I didn't know he had a CCW and carried it loaded everywhere we went. I didn't know where he hid it, or how he carried. I had no reason to look for it. Had I somehow found a reason to go into their room (Why would I), climb on top of his armoire and look inside of a bookcase that had no book, I may have found it; I'm sure he would've noticed though because the only time it was located there was when he was sleeping next to it.
I carry every day. I have numerous firearms that are locked in a gun safe in my closet. Ammo is in another closet that has a lock on door.
The only gun in my house that is unsecured is on my hip. When I go to sleep it is in a leather holster that I screwed to the back of the nightstand. If you came into my room while I was sleeping you would not see it.
The only time it is not within hand reach is while I am showering. It is sitting on my bathroom counter at that time. Some of you will think that I am crazy. But I was beaten and robbed in my apartment when I was in college, by 2 men who were looking for cash. Probably for drugs. They were never caught. Carrying a firearm is not always comfortable, but it is comforting knowing it is there.
I taught both my children at about 6 years of age how to shoot a rifle. They both killed deer that next year. They were never allowed to touch (or even see) a firearm without an adult in their presence.
At 15 I took them to a NRA firearms instructor for them to learn how to handle a firearm safely.

this allows quick access and keeps curious children away.
No excuse for leaving a gun, much less a loaded gun out, children will find them

'd like to know how many of yall's homes have been invaded, ever. Are you actually that afraid?
I was robbed and shot at in my garage 5 years ago. I used to carry all the time after that indecent but since my baby girl was old enough to walk I keep my handgun in my safe unless I'm traveling and my shotgun is stored separately and unloaded. I still worry about a home invasion but I know that it is far more likely that my child will injure themselves or someone else with my guns than will the need arise for quick access to a loaded gun. Most gun owners who are parents should realize this and take proper precautions.

How many of yall keep your car keys in a safe!
Teach your kids and these things would be even more rare than they already are. Hide your guns and lock them away and the child is possibly going to want to see what is so special in the gun safe!
I don't even own a gun safe. Amazingly all three of my kids made it out of HS alive!

Whoever is downvoting this is just downvoting facts.
Now that I think about it, the OT is exactly the kind of place I should expect facts to be downvoted.

And probably with a handgun.
It can't be stressed enough, handguns are dangerous as hell and people tend to be careless with them. Just go to a gun store and observe the average person handling a handgun and take note of how many times they sweep someone with the muzzle.

If he had it hidden and you "never knew about it until HS", then you damn sure wouldn't have known if it was loaded had you found it one day. It takes all of 2 seconds for a kid to find a gun and shoot it.
I found out he carried as a teenager prior to HS. And by that age I was no longer a kid, nor careless enough to mishandle it.

I understand defending your dad, but my philosophy would be to let my family know about it before someone finds it.
While I agree that it should be discussed among family, there is also an inherent risk that kids told about it at too young of an age may get curious. Everyone has a different age of being able to understand not only that a gun exists in the house, but the reason someone carries one and the effects that unfold should someone need to use it.

I don't understand how this happens.
Something is differ3ent today, and I cannot explain it. When I was growing up in the 50s-60s, our house, both of my grandparents houses, all my relatives and probably every one else I knew had firearms usually loaded in there home, and locking them up would have been considered a ridiculous idea back then. Many households would have a display case for firearms in the living room, and as I can remember gun safes were not a common thing until maybe the 80s. Given the situation then this type of accidental shooting was exceedingly rare. We grew up watching things like Gunsmoke, Combat, and Rat Patrol, someone was getting shot on TV every night so not sure if exposure to violence in the media is a factor, maybe the difference is that back then kids were exposed to and taught about firearms at a early age.
