For your family's sake, I hope that you keep your gun locked at all times. Leaving unsecured handguns around the house (unless you live alone or only with adults) is irresponsible in the best of lights. If you do that, then your gun could end up being in the 40% of being used as intended.
Personally, I don't like the odds, but that's me. And I play the odds all day every day for a living, so it's hard for me not to think about that when I'm at home. All I ask is that you don't bring your gun into my house.
