What do you call an unloaded gun with a proper lock on it? An expensive paperweight.
I may be rude, but I really wish people would stop fearing guns. Turns out they don't work without human intervention... much in the way your SUV won't randomly T-bone a loaded school bus and kill a child without somebody's clodhopper on the gas pedal and paws on the steering wheel.

Hubby is an ex-Marine and therefore is quite comfortable with guns, but I haven't handled guns much and am not as knowledgeable about their use and whatnot. I am not averse to buying a gun and learning how to handle it properly...if it can be properly secured against a child's (and teenagers) curiousity.
