I adopted three kids that were siblings. There were some bad habits already built in that I knew we were going to have to work on. Guns were a big part of that. I had always had a handgun loaded on the nightstand next to me and a loaded SBR in the corner. A gun was loaded on my side when I left the house and still is. It was never a problem with my oldest. However, It was going to be a problem with two of my adopted children (one is blind) until their habits could be modified. I thought about leaving the gun in the same place without one in the camber, but ended up moving it to a location they can't get to. This puts both guns out of arms reach, but my kids are alive. It is essentially the same as having an empty chamber in the house. The point is that the guy you are referring to may have a valid reason for his decision that is none of your business.
