You said proper safe handling principles is logical for most people. Well, in this country, it is mandatory for all people.
The two should go together. Gun safety should be taught in conjunction with proper gun storeage.

My point was to say that if a parent locks away their guns and never talks about them and the kid doens't see them, they wouldn't necessarialy need to teach gun safety because the kid would be oblivious.
I know the procedures for safe handling of firearms. I own several.
I agree. I have no problems having guns in my house, as they are nothing to be afraid of when you combine safety and knowledge of the firearm with proper procedures.
