Next, Dear Abby talks about a situation where a police officer leaves his gun unsecured at home.

She feels the concerned spouse should notify the Chief of Police about this.

Although there are no children at this house, she relates "horror stories" concerning unsecured guns. All these stories have one thing in common - children dying by gunfire.

Finally, I don't know whether to laugh or cry over this last one:

Wait for it....
