Well my dad was drinking pretty heavily that night. (counted 18 beers in about 2 hours) and generally speaking when he was drunk there was GOING to be a fight.

In hindsight do you think it would have been a good idea to keep the firearms in a safe he could not access?

Lawyers have this amazing ability to get people to magically "find" paperwork, magically "find" lost property or magically comply with the law.

My parents were constantly calling our home builder to have them finish some work that they were contracted to do. After several months of constant calling they said "We are contacting a lawyer, you'll be hearing from them shortly." Magically within a week the work was done.

Understood, my implication wasn't that you were at fault, I keep a weapon unlocked and loaded in my night stand for SD too.
