    Why is your firearm somewhere it can be picked up by someone who isn’t trained?

        What kind of accident are you imagining where someone untrained encounters your loaded weapon?

          People sometimes forget where they left things. Even important things. Even things where somebody can die if you don’t remember in time.

          It’s kind of like asking “what kind of accident are you imagining where someone leaves a baby in a hot car?” Nobody is expecting that to happen to them, but sometimes a person just forgets for no logical reason.

          That’s not to say they’re not still responsible for whatever happens, though. But it’s still good to give consideration to the possibility.

          Your kids guess the number to the safe is an easy one.

          It shouldn’t be loaded in the safe, but it’s not hard to load a gun

      That’s how most of these accidents happen. Only takes “forgetting” one time.
