Dear Queenie,
My father-in-law keeps a loaded gun in his house at all times. I want my children to be close with their grandfather, but I won’t let them visit him unless the gun is unloaded and locked up safely, and he says he won’t do it and I am just being a sissy.
Queenie, what more can I do?—Nervous about guns
Dear Nervous,
Let your children visit their grandfather as long as you are there to keep a close eye on them all the time. If he wants more time with them than you can manage, let him visit them in your home – but make certain he has not brought that loaded gun with him!
