The op asked if it "would be good enough" to have certain setups, a tricky case (for "little fingers"; what about pubescent or older?) or locked case or whatever, to secure guns in her house.
I took the question to mean would it would be good enough to keep children--foster or her own for that matter--safe.

Since you seem to have trouble understanding or properly quoting my original post, let me provide you with a DIRECT and UNEDITED quote of what I said and the question I was asking. Feel free to go back to my original post to make sure I quoted myself correctly.
obviously a foster child would be different, so in that case, we'd move that gun into the locked case as well.
Will that be good enough....having them all locked up?
So, what I was asking is whether having ALL GUNS locked up (not just in a hard to open box) would be sufficient. I was asking for people who were gun owners and foster parents and had experience with this issue for their experiences.
Obviously, I will talk to my caseworker about it, however I was simply hoping to pick up some early tips so I know what to expect.
I was NOT looking to start a debate on guns. Should I wish to engage in something like that, I could easily provide my own list of statistics which would support responsible gun ownership. That, however, is not the purpose of this forum.
