I'm 100% in agreement. My dad would regularly check my shotgun back in the day during hunting season. When we came back to the cabin after a days hunt, if the gun was put down anywhere and still had shells in it, armageddon. If the gun made it back home with shells still in it, armageddon. If the shells weren't stored in their ammo box, armageddon.
The man was a hard case for weapon management but I'm glad he was.
That's appropriate behavior with kids.
