Okay, here's my take on it: It's Alaska, most everyone (except me) has guns.
But if your 4 year old child gets a hold of yours and shoots themselves or anyone else, I dont think handing you a gun lock is going quite far enough. I'm sure the parents are absolutely horrified and will take much better care in the future, but here's a thought:
Your kid gets a hold of your gun. It's no longer your gun. It needs a new home forever.
Just that one. The rest of your arsenal is safe.
Hopefully from your kids too.

Been away for a while.
Glad to see your surgery came out ok.
Sorry about your horse... Er, no, you were the one standing by the car.
Watch out for armed 4-year-olds; they can be vicious.
Eric, you are so right about the gun locks, etc. Glad you're recovered and well. You might want to take a peek at Wight Wing Wadical's blog, he's going thru a rough patch just now and needs our support.
I know this won't be popular, but I think the parents should be charged. At least here in Canada that we would be charged with improper storage of a firearm minimum. They are very lucky to have a living child ...
My sisters best friend lost their son to a "gun accident" He was at a friends, the friend shot him. I believe in the right to bear arms, but I believe in the right for my son to grow old more.
scarey stuff.
