Indiana Toddler Finds Gun in Mother’s Purse, Dies in Apparent Accidental Shooting

24. one is a zoning ordnance,

and I seriously doubt every pool in the city is compliant. Most is only five feet, or with removable stairs. With a gun, simply a cabinet that is out of reach of children, as mandated in Florida, will get the same effect. Hell, you have a pistol without a round in the chamber, have a pistol like the HK P7 and still get the same result. I don't recommend that. The first most important thing to do is remove the curiosity. When I was a kid, the guns were just there, like the toaster. Nothing special or unusual about them being there.
They weren't loaded, but that isn't the point. Both of my brothers unloaded their revolvers as soon as they got home from work. When my oldest brother got married, his first lessen to my new four year old niece was to let her hold his service revolver, unloaded. When she gave it back, he loaded it and demonstrated what a .357 round will do to a block of ice and a watermelon.
