I think that is a decision you need to let him know that HE doesn't make alone, that you both have to agree.

But, I do think you would fare well to take a weapon safety course, and maybe even learn how to shoot (if you don't.)
That's a good thing anyway, for everyone, in case they do come upon a situation with a child and a weapon.

I carry.
I also have a choice weapon in my home.
Both my sons were raised with loaded (unlocked) weapons in the home, and nothing ever happened. They were taught from when they could toddle about firepower firearms and how they were not toys. Later, in the Cub Scouts, they learned how to shoot BB guns, and as preteens took another course through the Boy Scouts (offered with the NRA) how to handle and shoot rifles and shotguns.
I don't know if one of my sons has a weapon in his home, but the other is career Army (you figure it out? )

But again, that's a decision that you both must agree upon, or it won't be a safe situation.

Guns don't kill people... people kill people... but yes, if you aren't trained... sigh.
