HOWARD, Wis. (AP) - A man and his wife ducked behind a refrigerator when bullets began exploding in their oven, authorities say.

Capt. Craig Kohlbeck of the Brown County Sheriff's Department said the husband had put the ammunition and three handguns in the oven before the couple left on a vacation.

He told officers he thought the items would be safe there in case someone broke into the home while they were away.

After returning from their trip Tuesday, the wife turned on the oven to prepare dinner and the bullets ignited, Kohlbeck said.

No one was hurt.

This happens way too often for it to be a mistake.  I think the wifey says "why don't we put the guns in the oven for 'safekeeping'" and then later cranks the oven up to 650 degress thinking "BWaaahahahaaha!! Let's see if he spends more on guns than he spends on me NOW!!" and then of course says "Oopsie, I forgot!" haha

What PC crap.

I'm sure you "feel" that "responsible" gun ownership should include a gun safe?

Please..

Recently, I'm beginning to feel the same way.  I just picked up a small safe to keep all 3 of my handguns in when not in use (4 button electirc combo, bolted to the ground next to my bed).  No I don't think I should keep my gun in there all the time and try to get one out if someone breaks in - but it is a good deterrent against a thief grabbing any guns laying around and walking off with them.
