Kids and guns

Well said!

living in somewhat rural alaska my shotgun set in the corner behind the kitchen door the whole time my kids were growing up (loaded too) and all three very quickly learned you don't touch that, as they got old enough they were taught how to clear a weapon and then how to use one. we never had one incident (as far as i know even after their mother and i separated) and each of them has a gun of her own now that they are grown and gone.  i have to agree with the op,  any of my three would have gone oh another gun and went back to what ever they were doing.
