Which statement is correct about storing firearms in a home with children?

It is acceptable to store unloaded firearms on high shelves
Firearms should be stored unloaded with a locking device in place
Firearms and ammunition can be stored together if they are in a locked cabinet
Children should be taught not to touch firearms and no further action is needed

The correct answer is: Firearms should be stored unloaded with a locking device in place

Storing firearms in a home with children requires extra precautions to ensure safety. Option A is not a safe option as children can still climb and reach high shelves. Option C may seem like a solution, but it is important to keep firearms and ammunition separate as it can increase the risk of accidents. Option D is not sufficient as children are curious and may still try to touch firearms, so physically securing them is necessary. Option B is the best answer as it includes both storing the firearm unloaded and using a locking device to prevent access by children.
