Couple Bickers Over Firearm Safety

Dear Abby | April 17th, 2024 | Letter 3 of 3

DEAR ABBY: My husband is a gun owner. I am not. My mother sometimes stays over and sleeps in his office, which doubles as a guest room. My husband tells me before my mother goes into the room to sleep that I should make sure the gun is safely put away, in case she snoops around and finds it and an accident happens. I told him that is HIS responsibility as a gun owner, not mine. I also told him my mother won't snoop in his workstation. He continues to tell me to check it just in case, and I repeat that it's not my responsibility. Who's responsible to check if the gun is properly put away, my husband or me? -- NOT MY TASK IN THE EAST.

DEAR N.M.T.: You are both responsible to ensure the safety of your guests. Your husband's gun should be safely locked in a gun case to prevent anyone from shooting themself in the foot (or you or your husband if a bullet should accidentally go through a wall). Because your husband shirks his responsibility, in order to protect your mother, you should do it.
