So the government wants to tell me what to do in my home now?

Me and mine are safe enough in our own home. You guys should be concentrating on figuring out what most of us already know about the financial crisis in this country.

I educate my family on proper gun control. Guns don't kill people, idiots that don't teach their kids the difference between right and wrong, put the guns in the hands of uneducated kids that kill little Jimmys and little Johnnys. Teach you youth the respect that weapons deserve. Quit trying to spend more money that can be better spent on things that matter. Quit trying to tell me how to protect my family. Educate yourself on proper gun control.

How does this protect children ? All it does is limits adults .

So explain to me this:

Sec. 5, 2 (A)keeps a loaded firearm, or an unloaded firearm and ammunition for the firearm,

Now please explain how the "child" could perform an act of self-defense if it is illegal to have a loaded firearm, or an unloaded firearm and ammunition for the firearm as stated in paragraph 3 (C)the child uses the firearm in a lawful act of self-defense or defense of 1 or more other persons.

Who determines what is a "lawful act"??

Rob, you won't think you are "safe enough' in your home when you get a taste of a home invasion. Smarten up. Buy a gun.
