Do you do the same thing with your power tools, cars, etc?
These are also tools that can kill or be misused.
My kids know I have loaded guns out and they know how (and when) to access and use them. When visiting kids are here, they are kept out of areas with firearms (and power tools, etc.).
My rules apply here in my house, as yours do in yours, though I would probably not answer your questions about my guns, storage, condition, etc.
I guess that according to your rules, your kids would not be allowed to visit here. I think that is your prerogative as a parent.
I sincerely hope that you never see the day when you (or a family member) needs a functioning firearm immediately and cannot get to one.
