In my case, I was open w/ my kids about firearms. They would get curious -"What's that ?" Instead
of reacting like a lot of people(BAD, BAD, STAY AWAY!!!!) I took a minute to show them what it was
& teach them basic rules, thereby removing any taboo, & made sure they knew any time they got
curious all they had to do was ask I would show them again. As a result, by the time my oldest was
7 she could clear & secure any firearm I owned. I knew if my kid found one laying around, the worst
thing she would do would unload it. If no one was around to get an adult she would take the ammo
& find an adult.
I might not be Ward Cleever (just google it) but I KNEW my kids would never be an accidental shooting
statistic.
