Re: Even when putting firearms away-- Keep the four rules.
Thanks for the suggestions y'all. At this time they don't fit in our safe with the holsters on.

Re: Even when putting firearms away-- Keep the four rules.
It was one of those moments, where you are doing something you have done 100+ times and something changes (todder attack) and danger is suddenly staring you in the face.
Heads up. Great advice TexasCajun.

Even when putting firearms away-- Keep the four rules.
Had a scary experience this weekend. I shall put it here so others can learn. My DH and I returned home after a long day out (flag football game, lunch, haircuts, and then a birthday party). The kids sacked out downstairs in front of an approved cartoon. I went upstairs and decided to take a short nap on the bed. The firearm that had been all but unnoticable while tramping about is not comfortable to sleep on at all, so I went to put it in the safe across the room. I reached back retrieved my weapon and went to put it in the safe. My 20 month old took that moment to grab my legs and attempt to knock me over. The gun slipped and my finger went into the trigger guard......Praise God nothing happened. I have worked hard at training my finger to never ever go into the trigger guard unless on target so my first reaction was to release the gun and it fell harmlessly on the safe.
What scared the tar out of me is that had it gone off it was pointed in a fairly safe direction (the back of the safe), but if for some reason it riccocheted my husband and my todder were right behind me.
Nothing happened but some hairs standing up on the back of my neck, but being aware of your surroundings includes your small children that are unpredictable and might attempt to knock you over at any time.
