I mean, I like things that go boom as much as the next human. But how hard is it to; 1, not fucking literally sleep with the thing. And 2; leave it unloaded if you are‽

I'm always amused by the stories about loaded guns being confiscated at airports in people's carry on bags. The one place everyone should know that you cannot take a gun. Inevitably, they say, "I forgot it was in there."

Stories like these don't inspire my belief in safe gun owners. I'm sure they're out there, but so are a lot of idiot gun owners.
