I disagree. My wife can also be a somewhat frazzled and forgetful person sometimes. She had similar concerns when we first started looking into getting our permits. She has been carrying now since last October when we got our permits, and has never once had a problem with misplacing her gun. As a matter of fact, she has no concerns about accidentally leaving the gun laying around at all anymore. The gravity of carrying a loaded firearm has helped her to be much more cognizant of its location. We purchased a small gun safe just for her. She has developed a daily routine, of immediately locking the gun in that safe when she wants to take it off.
One other thing that we are doing in regards to the children, is we are educating them per the NRA eddie eagle program. We also allow them to handle the guns, supervised by us, just about anytime they want. This helps to take the mystery/forbidden fruit angle out of the equation, I believe.
Oh, and thank you for the website Pax, my wife found it very informative.
