Here is how I handled the problem of kids and guns.

    I always told my son that if he wished to see any firearm in the house all he had to do was ask. I would make sure it was unloaded and allow him to see it. I also told him that if he ever touched one without permission that I would wear him out
   As a further precaution I kept a 1911, mag full and chamber empty. He was old enough to know better before he could pull the slide back. 
   When he grew up I asked him if he ever slipped around and handled a firearm without permission? He said no, he didn't have to risk getting his butt beat, All he had to do was ask.
   We shot, hunted, reloaded fished together. And as a single parent we bonded well. Perhap,s though, I got him too interested in firearms: he plays with 155's now.

   Another idea for home defense is to keep a firearm in both ends of the house. That way you cannot be blocked access to a firearm by an intruder.
