You're not a criminal because you accidentally leave your gun and ammo in the same room for 15 min and your kid comes, takes it, and ends up shooting his friend with it. Sheer stupidity, but not a criminal action.
Even with the Canadian Gun Laws, there are only 'guidelines' to follow regarding gun safety in your own home. Nobody is going to 'force' you to lock them up.
But you'll find that most law-abiding people who own guns are very responsible.
