Kathy,    I am stunned and appalled to learn the courts will not doing anything for your daughter or the grandkids safety! I wonder if she told her divorce attorney (and had them ask the judge to stop visitation) about this incident and that the child has access to the handgun and uses it, if it would make a difference?    I think, here in Florida, you have to have guns locked up and handguns have to have trigger locks if there are children in the house.    I'm flabbergast at the stupidity some people show in this country. How can the courts NOT side with your daughter and the SAFETY of the children?? I will pray as you do for their safety .    think positive thoughts and trust the Lord.   tracy --- On Wed, 1/6/10, kathy  wrote: this will make you even more sad...and I ask that you pray for my 3 grandkids(1 boy,2 younger girls) after you read this. Their father, my ex son in law.....keeps a loaded shotgun, and  a 22, in my grandson's(he is now 11, but we found this out when he was 6?7?) bedroom closet!!! He seems to think its ok to do that. Apparently so do the courts...my daughter tried to get visitation stopped, curtailed etc..because that is one of the many reasons, but it didn't do any good. [snip]
