Many years ago I was in the US Military. The military taught me how to use both hand and long guns. Similarly my wife was trained by her country's military how to use both hand and long guns.

For some time after I left the military I carried a weapon I purchased while I worked for a security firm. When at home the unloaded and open weapon was stored in a locked safe. The ammunition was stored inside a locked strong box attached to a shelf inside the safe.

I returned home from night school to find my wife and youngest daughter bawling. While sleeping my wife was awakened by noises coming the back of the house. Half asleep she got up, unlocked the safe, removed the weapon, unlocked the strong box, removed the ammunition and loaded the weapon. My wife went toward the back of the house without turning on any lights. She challenged the intruder and in return my daughter screamed. The scream woke my wife up enough for her to realize she almost shot my daughter. That's when I walked in.

The weapon was gone the next day and there have not been any weapons in my house since. Never will be.
