Not at my house unless the 5 year old develops proficient safe cracking skills. In that case I'd be a bit more worried about why they wanted the gun in the first place!

People are idiots, in a case like this it makes for one heck of a funny news story!

Said pistol was probably a little Kel Tec or something similar, they have a really long heavy trigger pull but other than that no safety's. In theory if its stored in its holster its impossible for an accidental discharge, in theory.

I don't really trust such designs because triggers can always be accidentally pulled, I won't own a pistol without a positive safety that blocks the trigger, like a 1911, for example.

Even the lauded Glock safety trigger, plenty of people have shot themselves with their own Glock.
