That is how I was as a kid. We live in town now, so we keep it locked up because of other children(that may not be taught about weapons). I have a CO2 pellet pistol that I started him with last year. He doesn't even care about it. We have three rules that both boys have memorized:Originally Posted by RickOKC
Cool! I was a bit older and I'm happy I had the opportunity for my father & I to share an interest. Great memories.
Dad's (and a brother-in-law's) constant training left me with the ultimate in respect and caution for their capabilities. In our house the guns were never locked up and I knew where they were. Not in a billion years would I have ever considered even looking at them without permission.
I see some messages indicating that people don't understand that, but when educated properly you wind up thinking of a gun in the way same as any other tool. The end result is that you don't have a kid running around treating a gun (or a socket set) like a toy.
1.Never point at people
2.Never point at the dogs(they were obsessed with shooting the dogs early on)
3.If you find a gun out of the case, don't touch it and tell mom or dad
