Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest it's only small children. nossy Send a noteboard - 05/10/2017 11:13:22 AM

View original postHe was 16 and was allowed to shoot the pistol any time he wanted. He was holding the holster under his arm and paying quick draws. Typical stupid kid thing and it almost killed him. I spent eight years in the Marines and I know how to handle firearms. I also have an eleven year old and no guns.

I was merely using toddlers as the extreme example. As someone who owns a toddler, it's mind-boggling.

It might not mean much coming from me, but I think that's wonderfully sensible. You can always introduce them later, if it seems like a good idea. I was raised with guns, but my dad was strict and scary - we never touched them, and the first thing I ever learned was how to check they were definitely unloaded before handling. My mom wouldn't even let us point play guns at each other - "guns aren't for people." Sadly, there are so many stories so different to mine.
