How many times has your computer crashed at an extremely inopportune moment? Guns malfunction enough as it is, and when you talk about adding something even more complex into the mechanism its reliablity drops. I am not willing to risk that added factor of unreliability when someone has broken into my house and is threatening my life or the life of a loved one.
Safety wise, the situation should not be the child proofing of your gun it should be the GUN PROOFING of your child. There are no such thing as gun accidents, there are only negligble discharges. Teach your child about the gun, educate them. Let them learn to respect the firearm for what it is. Show them that it is a very powerful device and teach them the correct way to use/fire it. Also if you plan on owning a gun TAKE CLASSES on how to use it properly as well as some self defense classes that concentrate on handgun use, which will minimize the likely hood of having your weapon taken from you by an assailant.
