The debate has gone off in this house about guns. The Man wants one, and I wouldn't mind it, since I really enjoy shooting. I've pointed out the danger of keeping a loaded gun in the house, and he pointed out the retardedness of keeping the bullets 15 feet away from the weapon...which does seem pretty stupid if we're keeping it for protection purposes. The time needed to get the gun, unlock the bullets, and load the gun would render it totally ineffective against anyone dangerous, and would probably mean it would be used against us.
The compromise we settled on is an electronic finger-print safe, which would be locked to our fingerprints only. As far as I can tell, they are impossible to open unless someone cuts my finger off, and then we're already in trouble. The cost at this point is prohibitive.
I don't think the kids would be told if it was in the house, at least at the age they're at right now. Perhaps when we start hitting pre-teen age, some shooting lessons and safety talks would be necessary. But if they can't physically access the gun, I don't think they'd need to even know about its existence.
