Here's a scenario for you.
They are all in the house dad is toying with his gun but needs to get up to go to washroom. Kid pics up the gun and remembers how fun it was with dad and how dad showed him to pull the trigger. Kids wants to show mom so points the gun and her a Bang...
Yup great thing to show a kid that young how to shoot.

You'd have to be a complete fucking retard to leave your gun sitting around with your kid. A COMPLETE FUCKING RETARD. You'd pretty much have to be a god damn crackhead to leave a handgun laying around with a toddler in the house. The majority of children who are killed in accidental gun accidents are mor ein the 7-12 area, and that is plenty old enough to have an understanding and respect for firearms instilled in you. When i was that age i would spend entire summer days by myself shooting off bricks of shells at gophers, or walking bush hunting for rabbits. my brother did the same, as did many many of my good friends at that age. if i have kids, i'm confident that they'll be level headed and educated enough in firearm use to do the same.
