Please Secure Your Guns

Police in Georgia have charged Colin Gray with murder for allowing his son access to the gun he took to school and murdered 4 people.  I'm sad for all of the families impacted by this shooting.  I'm not going to argue whether the parent should be charged for the actions of his kid or not but Mr. Gray did break a basic rule of gun ownership:  "Store guns so they are not accessible to unauthorized persons."

I'm a huge fan of teaching kids to safely handle and shoot guns but I do not think they should have unfettered access to them.  Last year, we had 3 different incidents here in Powhatan County of kids bringing guns to school.  None of these resulted in a school shooting but they could have.  You don't have to buy an expensive safe to secure your guns, there are many inexpensive options which would make it very difficult for someone to get to your guns.  If you don't have a way to store your guns to keep them from unauthorized people, please get this done ASAP.  Consider it an insurance policy against an unimaginable tragedy.
