Alex9179, I am very sorry for what your family is going through! That was definitely a tragedy that did not need to happen!

Another way to prevent these tragedies is to teach children respect for guns. With your own children, this is a must if you keep guns in the house. Showing children these rules openly demysifies the gun, and they won't go seeking it out of curisoity. I understand that is not (always) possible with foster children, so it is important to make sure that everyon stays safe.

Any of the locking case methods that I mentioned above will fit the needs for safety, both with the gun from being in the hands of those that it shouldn't, and for the need to get to it quickly if needed in an emergency. These types of cases are a safe on their own, and not simply a case to hold the gun that is "hard to open."
