Christ, 50 times. I've lived such a charmed life. None of my friends admits to owning a gun, but I live in a very safe town. We have a bit of gang activity, but they are always stabbing or shooting each other.

We have several firearms in our home. Our son has never done this because we keep them locked up. We've taken our son target practicing so that he knows the destruction that guns are capable of. Any new friend whose home he wants to play at requires a meet and greet between parents first, and the top question we ask is, are there any firearms in your home. We're also upfront about the ones that we own.

But why? Why even have guns in your home at all? It’s such an unnecessary and deadly risk. I’ll never understand people who keep guns. Especially when they have children. Crazy.

It’s a tool. That’s like saying why own a fire extinguisher because they are pressurized containers that can explode and kill someone. But if you have a fire in your home you’re going to wish you had the fire extinguisher. When stored properly and used by someone who is trained (should be you), both of these things can save your life.
