Education, education, that how I learned. I grew up in a house with a shotgun and a 1911. My dad would take me hunting and I had to carry the shotgun, in a safe way. I learned to hate carry that thing. The 1911, my father taught us gun safety and how to field strip, clean and reassemble the 1911. We did that so much I hated that to as a young man. All this without gun locks and no gun safe. One last thing, as my brother and I field strip the 1911 we had to show the safeties and name each part we took off.

This is pretty much what I did with my daughter. She knows that firearms have potential to be dangerous and to treat them with respect. Doing so, the experience can be fun as long as we're responsible. Doing this her curiosity is gone. Occasionally she will ask to hold it and we go over the firearm rules of safety. Go through the process of making sure the gun is clear, etc.

My son is now 8. I bought him his first 22lr bolt action when he was 6. Choosing to have your kid around firearms isn’t based on age it is based on maturity. I watch autumns armory and see her shooting all these cool firearms ( same age as my boy). But my boy isn’t ready for the higher calibers or handguns yet. Since he got his first firearm I taught him rules of firearm safety, finger discipline. And the most import rule “never touch ANY firearm unless I am around and he has permission”. Safety, and teaching young are important it removes all the excitement. My son is so not impressed by guns anymore, he loves shooting but doesn’t go batsh it like most kids at seeing them.

One could never be too safe but knowing that he is responsible enough to handle a gun on his own, I will probably be buying his first .22 for his 10th birthday! His sister will also be learning soon!

Guns should never be locked up from kids who are old enough to learn how to use them. Any kind of defense is necessary in a home invasion. You would rather want to come home from work and see a dead guy in your living room and your teen son or daughter holding a handgun than coming home and seeing your dead child. Parents have become overprotective now, to the point where they are putting their own kids in danger.

I just feel I should relate my experience as a kid, since I am older we are talking about a time that really is completely different. My dad was a reserve deputy for a number of years when I was young and I remember many times watching him gear up as well as when he would come home from a shift or from the range. I remember watching him clean his S&W M&P 38 after a range session and then when I was about five or six years old he brought me and my brother to the range with him. My brother actually shot his revolver while I decided not to at the time. I watched them all shoot for over an hour and found it to be interesting but ultimately not enough to take him up on going up and shooting it. I got to see what they would do but also how they worked thanks to one of the guys my dad worked with showing me all the details while my dad was on the range. Over the years my dad kept his service revolver in a dresser drawer inside a box, loaded. I knew it was there and how to shoot it if I ever needed to. I even one time showed it to my best friend at the time. We both looked at it and picked it up, but never once did either of us "play" with it or even "pretend" to pull the trigger. We admired it and then set it back in the box and closed it up. This friend of mine also showed me some of his dad's hunting rifles that were locked in a display case. He knew where the key was kept even though I don't think his dad knew he did. That part I wasn't entirely sure of, but then later on he showed me a new one and he got the key from a different place so it's possible that he wasn't supposed to know. Again we admired them carefully, as they were loaded. Not all of them, but more than one. We returned them to the case without doing anything dangerous. We both knew what would happen if we pulled the trigger and neither of us wanted to explain that to any of our parents. Amazingly this was even before our parents sent us to a Lodge sponsored hunter safety class one summer. We were never barred from playing with toy guns and never told to treat toy guns as though they were real, like some friends I had growing up later. Something I still to this day, do not understand. I am now more of a 2A supporter than I ever was. Neither I nor any of my friends were ever careless with guns. I even became a certified instructor.

@@josiahcruz9678 If you don't understand it's cause you don't shoot competition and that's fine. Why to most precision rifles have light triggers? It's so that you impart as little movement to the firearm as possible. Pistols are inherently prone to being moved around. If you need to make a 50 yard shot in competition at speed for a decent chunk of change your odds of hitting with a 2lb trigger that is done up properly is better than hitting with a 6-10lb trigger even if that trigger is a clean one. I personally only look for a short reset that will keep up with my trigger finger...I don't mind Glock triggers at all, and if anything I am kinda used to how they feel.

My 3 daughters (all under 7 years old) regularly ask questions and we discuss the dangers of a firearm, the reason we have them, and how they are a tool. Having known parents who have lost a child from a firearm, it is heart wrenching for something so preventable. The best thing you can do is educate instead of shelter. They need to hold them, understand them, the safety and they need to know what to do if they find a firearm at a friend or family members house. We can’t teach everyone else’s kid nor can we protect them from every circumstance but teaching them from an early age and being responsible with firearms ourselves can prevent accidents.

My dad took me shootings .22s and an SKS at a very young age. When I was 10 or so, I snuck into his closet to play with his firearms. He didn't keep them chambered, just one or two with loaded mags. But I remember even as a child, I knew enough thanks to him to be somewhat safe handling them. I never pointed them at anyone, and would unload them/verify they weren't loaded before playing with them. Sure, he should have had them in a safe. But he had taught me well enough it wasn't an issue. He then gave me a .22 to keep in my room a few years later. He also encouraged me to use BB and pellet guns, which also helped me understand general safety. You accidentally shoot yourself (or a friend intentionally shoots you) with a metal BB or pellet and you remember that lesson. And I always thought my parents were over-cautious. My best friend and ATV riding buddy had been carrying a .22 rifle on his four-wheeler since he was like 10. We would squirrel hunt, just the two of us, with that rifle. He wouldn't have allowed me to be reckless with it for a kid he was serious about safety with it, a testament to his parents. One thing I wish my dad had taught me: ear pro is important. I didn't learn that lesson until I was an adult.

I started teaching my daughters how to clean, maintain and how the parts work with each other around the age of 6, with a ruger 10/22. They're 16, 11 and 8 now. And I've never have had to worrie about them getting into the gun cabinet. They know if they wanna go shooting (target practice) or hunting all they have to do is ask dad. The more they're around firearms, the more they know about firearms the less curious they are about them. It's all about education. People leaving their kids in the dark induces fear and or curiosity on the subject, and that does more damage then good.

From the time each of my four kids were old enough to have a conversation, if you asked them, "what's the most important rule in the house?", they would respond, "Never touch daddy's guns without permission." We talked about gun safety a lot. We watched Eddie Eagle until I was sick of it, then we kept watching it. As soon as they were old enough to hold it, I double and triple checked that my pistol was unloaded, and let them hold it. I bought them Daisy Red Ryders when they were big enough, and let them shoot them. Then we moved up to 22 rifles. I've taken them all deer hunting, either to watch or to hunt. When my son was 15, he took a doe with one perfect heart shot from a 223 H&R Handy Rifle, from 150 yards. He's 19 now. My girls are 20, 16, and 12. I made sure they were never curious about guns. I made sure they knew that I would show them any gun they wanted to see, at any time. Then I followed through with that promise. I never keep my hand gun locked up, unless someone else's child is in the house. My kids know where the keys to my gun cabinet are, and which shotgun is always loaded, in case I'm not home and there's an intruder. We've never had a problem. My kids are all confident marksmen. Knowledge and experience are the only trustworthy safety devices.

I’m almost 71 years old now, from my youngest age (about 5 or 6 early 1950’s) I remember my dad coming home from work (35 years law enforcement LT. Deputy Sheriff at that time) sliding the Colt detective special and holster off his belt (which now resides in my gun safe) and placing it on his nightstand. I don’t have any recollection as to how I was taught but going anywhere near the gun was not on my list of 1000 things to do. The other thing crossing the threshold of my parents doorway was unthinkable unless one of my parents were in there and I asked first. My 2 girls were taught the same way, educating small children about all dangers (like firearms) of life has somehow become lost for the most part over the decades.

My two cents: When my son was old enough to like Nurf guns, I began teaching him the 4 tenants of gun safety. It frustrated him at the time, but by the time I took him the range when he was 8, the safety tenants were habit to him and he understood what I had been teaching him all those years. My personal opinion, do not use an 'easy access' safe because if you're panicked, the safe may not be easy access. When he was young, we stored our guns out of reach of him without a round (a bullet is the projectile that is discharged from the barrel of a gun, a round is the casing, a primer, gun powder, and bullet) in the chamber. There was no way he could reach the gun and even if he could, he couldn't rack it. At the time, this to us was a reasonable concesion to our safety. We knew it would take a second to rack and the noise would be give away our location and intent, but it was safe. He is 13 now, and keeps his AR in his room (yes, he and I built his first AR in my armorory when he was 10) and knows where all our guns are hidden throughout the house. He is well trained and proficient on the safe, effective use of a firearm.

I was 8 when I got my first shotgun from my dad. He taught me the rules of safety and showed me he trusted me with it. I always had access to it and the ammo, not because I might need it but because it was mine. It’s pretty good to take away the taboos and curiosities early on. It not only teaches them to respect the gun, but also teaches them the discipline necessary to understand when to use it and when not.

By not hiding it like some type of super treasure only for me and letting him know he can get really hurt by touching it. Can make a world of deference. I have tested the boy 3 times now with 3 different types of Firearms and every time like a good boy he's come and got me. It not hard to teach kids you just have to put the effort in. But all that being said i do keep my guns put up and away from the boy so he can not get to them no way no how, but by the off chance he does he knows what to do.

I couldn’t agree more!!! My kids know I have a good amount of firearms!! They have both seen what happens to animals I hunt. I buy them their own miniature cricket 22lr. They are very safe to teach children how to shoot on!! Once they reach age 5 they get this firearm and are brought along to hunt and also have the opportunity to harvest an animal of their own!! Along with preaching firearm safety alllll the time they see what firearms can do to both targets and living creatures!! They are taught to respect the firearm and the animal they are trying to harvest!! If they harvest an animal they must clean, prep and eat it!! I obviously help every step of the way!!! My firearms aren’t in safes but are in locking cabinets, with the exception of the home defiance arms we keep in key locations!! The kids know not to touch them!! And they are kept on safe and without a round in the chamber, granted a mini safe would be a better route to take but I have 4 children and have not had a single issue with my children touching any of our firearms without asking and direct supervision!!!! But On the flip side to that if a child is coming over or a friend drops by with their child I make sure that our firearms are picked up and put away in a safe storage case or or cabinet!! I’ve had my own mother who wasn’t Anti gun but also wasn’t pro gun, she had questioned my keeping firearms around and I had her test my kids when I wasn’t around at random! She finally understood that it was safer then not training my children and teaching them!! Because like you said it takes that curiosity out of the equation!!

My policy is never have a round in the chamber unless the weapon is on you for these reasons: -when the weapon is on you, you are in control, therefore speed of use is more important in self defense, when the weapon is not on you, you are not in control, therefore safety from negligence from others should be prioritized -its a lot less likely for a 5 year old to rack the slide on any pistol/rifle since it requires some strength, pulling the trigger however can be done by a toddler -if you are CCW in public and get attacked, often there is no warning, therefore you have little time to respond, so have one in the pipe. When you are at home, you normally have your house/dog/home alarm as your first warning that something is up if someone is breaking in, this gives you more time to respond so you'll usually have that extra moment to rack the slide -Most break-ins happen at night, which means the first 5-10 seconds that you awake after hearing a noise you'll just be coming to your senses, you don't want to jump right into a fight in those first few seconds because your judgement and situational awareness will be impaired, meaning you could just end up accidentally hurting yourself or your loved ones. So that's another reason you'll have some extra time to rack the slide

He brought his son (10 years old at the time). He had taught his son firearm safety, and he knew how to behave. He was able to handle it SUPERVISED and knew what to do. My wife and I plan to do this with our daughter when she is old enough. She will probably have a .22 when she is responsible enough.

We told them you do not have to fear a firearm but you must respect it and we have NEVER had a problem.
