Sir, this is literally the exact thing I'm talking about. Everyone should have the same (forced even!) commitment to safety as you do.
If your gun is not on you, in your possession when you're home, it should be stored away so young ones, or thieves have limited access to it.
My other argument, which might be considered more controversial is this;
If you want a CCW permit, you should have appropriate training. You should have training on choosing an appropriate weapon and caliber for CCW purposes, you should have training on when it's appropriate to use a firearm in a public place, and you should have training on safety concerns that should be addressed when in a high stress situations.
I'm not saying your safety doesn't take paramount concern even, just that if you're going to be given a potentially deadly weapon, an a right to use it in a public place where you could really, really hurt other people, you should be a skilled individual.
Is that really asking something extraordinary?
