Is having a gun under the bed and two small children around child endangerment?

As a Life Member of both the National Rifle Association and the California Rifle & Pistol Association, it is my considered opinion that keeping a firearm under your bed with young children in the house probably IS "child endangerment". (I presume that the firearm is loaded; it would be useless if it were unloaded, but it would greatly reduce the risk to the children.)
I _STRONGLY_ recommend purchasing a gun safe for your handgun(s) and that you keep your long guns unloaded and safely stored.
A good handgun safe is relatively inexpensive, and is cheap insurance against the kids getting into your guns.
I further recommend that you look into the NRA's "Eddie Eagle" program that teaches children who find a gun to:
1. STOP.
2. DON'T TOUCH.
3. Leave the area.
4. Tell an adult.
