I disagere Florida Hunting Guy.

Growing up, we would go visit my Grampa, and he had rifles and shotguns lying around the house. Granted, none of them were AR-15's but we had toys at the time that looked very similar to some of his lever-action rifles. We knew the difference, and we never messed with them. I'm a firm believer that if you train your young uns, they will be 100% safe around your weapons. And if they are too young to handle them, by all means keep them out of reach and dont leave them lying around the house.
