Some writers have an advantage. Cheryl Todd has beautiful grandchildren. Her family also owned a gun shop. This is a great reminder about staying safe on Halloween. Her full article is here, but here is a teaser so you follow the link.
"Trick-or-treaters are welcome to visit your home at night and approach your front door with their faces obscured, their hands gloved, and possibly carrying an item resembling a weapon. On any other day of the year, this behavior might warrant a call to 911. However, it might be more difficult to determine the delightful from the truly dangerous on All Hallow's Eve.
"Exercising a few extra layers of preparedness, safety, and caution will help to preserve the fun while protecting your home, your family, and yourself.
"The basic rules of safely handling a firearm are:
"#1) Treat every firearm as though it is loaded—even if it is a toy and part of a costume.
"Teaching children how to handle every gun as though it is a gun, including toy guns and nerf guns is a great way to begin implementing a safe way to interact with firearms and develop the habit of safety."
