My dad took a different route and had me shooting when i was five.

Toy guns had the same rules as real guns:shock:

I had my first pistol when i was 10! a 9 mm no less lol

My first 45 for my 13 birthday

Ar when i was 17 lol

So guns have been a huge part of my life

Locking them would have made me want to get into them so he just taught me to be safe with them when he wasnt around.
The 4 rules allways apply

I have guns in my room unlocked and with live mags in but not chambered

I have 3 kids none of them are ever interested in playing with the guns cause they see one every day. And dad lets them check them out when im around all they gota do is ask.



They all know daddys guns are loaded and it doesnt care who it kills if the trigger is pulled

They all understand at 8,9,and 13 guns are dangerous and not to be played with.


If anything im kinda bummed on how un interested they are in them lol
Same here ....family tradition is for dad and grandpa to buy us our first guns ....shotgun first 22 second and Deer rifle when we graduate high school..... I also noticed friends in school who weren't allowed to handle guns ....would be the ones trying to sneak them out to show others......not knowing anything about em.

Yep my kids arent dumb

Gun education is very important

More so than any gun lock

With respect

If the 4 rules of gun safety are instilled at a young age no lock matters

Obviously being the son of a country boy/military man and war vet

You just grow up with guns nothing more then tools

That is a theory.

And many times the gun incedent involves a friend of the child with the loaded guns.

And kids lie to their parents and do things on impulse.

And sometimes they plan stuff.

I was a good boy. And never told my parents shit and got good grades and was never in trouble.

By 15 I was running meth for the mob kids in jersey.

No one knew anything. Except what university Mom wanted me to go too.

I would say it’s good we didn’t have open guns around the house when I was a child.

nothing tough about it - Americans have proven time and time again that widespread and open gun marketplaces only leads to innocent people dying.

the statistics are clear, the very vast majority of gun violence produces innocent victims.

you can blame whatever you want, culture, times changing, how you ONE person was raised, how good of an upbringing you had.

it doesn't matter. The truth is the truth and no amount of spin is going to change it.

The correlation is abundantly clear, and the evidence is overwhelming:

Open, heavily-deregulated, and uncontrolled gun markets only leads to innocent people dying. The solution is to create a very controlled, very limited gun market - following the models set forth by other industrialized nations with near zero gun violence.

Simple.

True.

I'm the same way. Started with a high powered air rifle at four or five. Got little .22 when I was 8. Shotgun at 10. Rifle at 12.

They are a tool. I was used to seeing them.

I noticed the same. Kids that hadn't handled them were the ones that would sneak them and stuff.

Kids are also exposed to way different shit than we were WB ....just look at video games for example ...pretty graphic shit.

Not just video games list is long......I've noticed all the nice bike jumps down by the river are all overgrown .....same with dirt bike trails .....those jumps and trails were the spot to be for longer than I've been alive...... Seems kids these days would rather play video games or watch internet videos than ride bikes, motorcycles, or the girl next door etc etc....... I remember having to use my imagination to have fun as a kid......technology IMO has ruined that for kids.......creating a Buncha Softies..

And when I popped my first hog between the eyes at 7 with a .22 short solid I realized she wasn't getting up. But the cured ham and fresh sweet bread was great. So much self centered anger these days.
