Can you speak about that? Children at this age are a little bit more mobile now.

CALVIN G. LOWE, MD, FAAP: Right. If you don't need a gun in the house, I would recommend not having a gun. But there are some people who need the guns, law enforcement and so forth. So the main thing is to keep the gun in a locked container. And if you have ammunition, of course, to have that in a separate site as well. Kids are, what I've found in my emergency department experience, where kids have come in at this age not because of a shot by an intruder, they were shot by a friend or family member. Or they were self-inflicted because they were looking at this gun, and curious, and pulled the trigger on themselves.

BONNIE BOSEWELL: Well you're in that emergency room a lot. And I know that this experience you're giving us comes from firsthand exposure. So we really thank you for all of your comments here.

CALVIN G. LOWE, MD, FAAP: My pleasure. Thank you.
