Thats a sad story. That's why I'm glad I took all of my swords down after my daughter was born. I now keep them behind my bed. When my kids get older, I plan on teaching them how to properly treat a sword.
Treating weapons with care is nothing new, but in todays gun culture swords and other ancient weapons are often regarded as toys or art. No matter the weapon it needs to be treated with respect.
I made a choice years ago. I had the opportunity to buy another gun but I really didn't know what I wanted as I have a collection started over thirty years ago, I had guns in the closets, in the garage, in foot lockers. Not to mention knives and bayonets,swords and sabres and the like. Well, I decided that the best choice I could make was a gunsafe to keep them in and that's what I bought and that's where everything is now kept. I have grand children now and I don't want them playing with any of the weapons until I teach them about their use. The best thing about it is that the safe is scum-proof. No would-be burglar could lift the safe empty let alone break it loose form the gargage floor so my weapons are safe from theft and from little hands. I keep a 12 gauge coach gun next to the bed and a K-BAR in the night stand so if my wife ever tries to beat me up again...
