So you just chose to avoid my question, huh?

You're debating the splinter and ignoring the log.

I asked a question twice in this thread and both times it was either over looked or ignored. But twotoplace basically answered my question.

 

After spending a few minutes to research I see where this is about being a foster parents.

Arggg, this is very frustrating posting on a mobile device anymore.

 

To finish what I was saying in the above post. This couple want to be foster parents. In the future they may adopt. So it's either bad reporting or the couple is trying to combine fostering and adopting for some type of attention.

 

If the rules say no loaded guns to foster a child, that is totally different that saying the same thing to adopt. As Mrs PH stated, they have had foster kids where they had to keep the guns away. As I hit on before, this is a blanket policy to place kids in temporary homes, kids that may have a troubled past that may include violence.

 

If this couple truly want to adopt, maybe they should go that route.

I don't think you understand the foster parenting or adoption process. Some foster parent homes are very temporary, a few weeks to a few months. Other foster parent homes are many months to years. Many judges try to find foster parent homes that are willing to adopt the children if it turns out to be a long term placement. A lot of times it is not an either/or situation.

Am I the only one seeing the problem here being that they are being told no because they won't agree to lock up their guns and ammo and not their second amendment rights to own a gun? I feel like I am reading a ton of hyperbole in this thread.

Seems to me that the real problem is the couple who wants to adopt but can't handle the whole idea of storing their guns in a separate, secure container. That's really an issue? Why wouldn't anyone store their guns in a separate, secure container?

If you truly felt you needed a gun for your families protection at home, what good would it do to lock guns and ammo in two different lock boxes?

I'd ban smokers from adopting before I would gun owners.

If I truly feared for my family's protection I would move. I plan to own a gun soon and it will be locked up. I don't know what to tell you.

I'm with you 1,000,000,000% here.

Everybody doesn't have the option of moving out of bad situations...your right it's a tough call. A handgun lock box with quick opening would be good, you could have gun loaded and still have it secure and somewhat accessible. Better than having gun and ammo in different places.

I understand the process, but if they want to adopt, they can. I don't agree with the blanket rule on this to be a foster parent, but I see where they are coming from, to a point.

I'd be willing to wager good money that most of our BGP brethren that is pro guns isn't living in situations in which they fear for their family's safety at home. I'd hope that anyone adopting kids would have homes that they feel equally safe in as well.

Delaware and Pennsylvania are the only two states that do not mention firearms to be a foster parent.

It's a bit old but it's what I found first:

 

"Kentucky

Kentucky Administrative Regulation 1:350 and Cabinet Policy both state that firearms and ammunition are to be locked and stored in separate locations."
