hi im going through a divorce im worried cause ny husband keeps alot of guns. one morning my 2 year old son and i woke up and were playing and jumping on couch as usual. i picked up a pillow to throw it at him and i discovered a co.45 under the pillow. it was loaded and barrell facing the way my child and i sleep. when i called my husband he acted as if it wasnt wrong and claimed that he knew what he was doing. thats so stupid no one has control while asleep. we lived in very nice and safe neighborhood. no reason to sleep with a gun. well now my worries are up even more cause a few days ago he txted me a video of him and my son playing wit the gun sayin "pow Pow" is there anythin i can do?

Was the gun loaded? If not, there is likely not a great deal you can do with him sleeoping with a weapon if the ammunition is secured. If it is not, it could be a matter a court would address as a safety issue. It is certainly an issue that can be raised with regard to the Best Interests of the child in any custody proceeding.

You said it was loaded but was a round chambered and was the safety on? There is a difference unless its a revolver although all guns have safeties. For guns with clips loaded means that there is a clip in. Having a round chambered means that their is a round in the chamber and the safety is the only thing that is keeping a trigger pull from firing a round. I would say if that was the case it would be a safety issue for custody purposes. While a 2 year is probably cant too all that is necessary to chamber a round and fire it before a watchful parent stops them, they might figure out a safey and pull the trigger like they see on TV IMO.

But at the same time, its generally irresponible also IMO not to have the gun put up if no one is there to use it. As someone who was raised in the country with guns, I can see no reason to leave it under a cushion if there is no one there to use it in an emergancy. Any place no matter how peaceful the neibhorhood is can have someone break in.

Now if he left it there and did not sleep on the couch or tell you it was there (although I hate to say it or think it) your husband may be trying to intimidate you to try and make you think that he "might" have been thinking about using it on you and you son. That would be a very very bad thing. It could have just been there because he had it and put it there and said what he said just to cover up his irresponible behavior with it just because he doesnt want to give you any ammunition inadvertantly due to his carelessness in a custody battle. You are the best one to decide whats going on logically (dont let your emotions take control of your thought processes though) what is going on.
