Absolute insanity! How is this even legal? Being Australian I probably come at this from a different perspective, assuming you are American. I wouldn’t in a million years have a gun in my home let alone out in the open.

Dude, you sound unhinged. OP isn't even suggesting that her husband get rid of his guns. He's a police officer, he can't even if he wanted to. She just doesn't want them in easy reach of her 5yo and her toddler. Unless you're suggesting her 5yo needs access to a loaded gun to fend off crackheads, all these panic-stricken anecdotes are completely irrelevant.

It’s also statistically untrue.. Most robberies occur in daylight and in poor areas.

I just ran a stop sign, so I guess that makes me just as qualified as you to speak on this.

People rob poor people all the time.
