If it's not loaded, about the worst that could happen is the kid would drop it on his foot or pinch his fingers in the slide. My advice would be to lock up the ammunition.

No, no...there are loaded guns well out of reach in the most used areas of the house, but there are others that need to be locked away as well... what can I say our collection is growing quickly.

I like the idea of just adding a lock to one of the closet doors. We may look into something of that nature for the time being.

It is definately better than nothing.
Remember it will only keep kids and honest folks out. Not a safe but better than nothing.
My father replaced a walkin closet door with a custom fit steel security door, single keyed lock and painted it to match all other doors inside the house.
99% of the visitors to his home never notice it.
