At this point, my daughter is two and, my son is five. I've started with my son already. The basics, no gun is EVER unloaded!!! No gun is ever to be pointed at anyone, ever. He knows and understands why we have a gun safe. I stress to him that, if not used properly, people may get hurt with a gun, or worse. I've started, recently, showing him how several of our firearms work and how to load magazines(we've also used this as a tool to improve his counting!...I know he can count to at least 30! LOL). He helps me clean our firearms after a day of shooting and has been with me twice to go shooting. Before we ever fired the first shot, he was shown what a fireline is and why we have it. That being said, I've been very cautious as to who is around while we're shooting because, sadly, I know people who are far less cautious when handling firearms and, I do not want him to pick up any habits from them. |

This was drilled into me in Boot Camp and sticks around forever.

I joined a rifle club way back when I was 12 years old. Besides getting to shoot once a week at the State Police indoor range, we always spent a few minutes each week to discuss gun safety in general.
One discussion was on gun safety rules. After discussing some rules [probably something from NRA] we [12 to 15+ years olds] came up with these rules. Gun Safety Rules 1. Handle every gun as if it were a loaded gun. 2. Never point a gun at anything you do not want to shoot. 3. Never handle a gun unless you know how to operate it. 4. Check every gun you touch immediately to determine if it is loaded. [Don’t trust anybody]. 5. Know your gun and ammunition. 6. Know your target, background and ricochets. 7. Keep action and barrel clean and clear. 8. Keep every gun unloaded at all times except while target shooting or hunting. 9. Always keep in mind safe ways to carry and handle a gun to protect yourself and your friends in case of unexpected stumbles, falls and bumps. 10. Obey all range commands instantly 11. Be willing to teach gun safety, but avoid people with poor gun safety. [A friend with poor gun safety is hardly a friend.] 12. Alcohol and gunpowder do not mix. |

my brothers and I all grew up with loaded guns around the house. Ever since I could remember,my Dad had loaded guns in drawers,on the nightstands,behind the doors etc. He always told us not to ever touch them.(later once we were old enough,he trained us how to handle them). I can honestly say, I never did till I was told I could. We knew what would happen if we disobeyed. The belt was coming,EVERY TIME. My dad always said, if you "consistantly" take care of the misdomeaners while raising a child,then there would be very few felonies down the road.

In my opinion a riot style shot gun on a shelf above your bedroom door is about as good as it gets with young kids in the house. I keep a pistol in a hangdun safe next to the bed as well but the shotgun is the first choice.

My dad always had guns in our house. They were always unloaded and kept ammo out of reach. He was very strict about them. He told us if it even looks like one was touched we would catch a beating. But all you had to do was ask and he was more than happy to take it out and show us how it works and gun safety. Me and wife have been eyeing the savage 320 for the house.
