Word you are looking for is "gun safe"

From the article:
"Alliance for Gun Responsibility focuses on ending gun violence in Washington.

“Safely storing firearms in particular storing them locked, unloaded and separated from ammunition has proven to work to prevent unintentional shootings,” Ellingboe said."

As discussed a few posts ago, not respecting and handling powerful items foolishly is dangerous.
True for guns, true for cars, true for power tools, true for alcohol. Forget that and you can harm yourself or others.

Over reacting is not sensible either. The response by one of the neighbors is not logical.

"Hassan said his kids play outside every day after school.

"No more going outside, they stay home," Hassan said. "No more going outside. It's scary. I don't want to lose my kids."

The factory making the NRA's gun safe can also market them as child-sized coffins.

India's air force said Tuesday that three military officers have been dismissed for accidentally firing an unarmed missile into rival Pakistan in March.

A formal inquiry found that “deviation from the Standard Operating Procedures by three officers" led to the BrahMos cruise missile being fired into Pakistan, the air force said in a statement.
