i believe in teaching kids about guns. i will teach my son the same way i taught my nephew. when he memorizes the ten basic rules i will take him out and let him shoot it. when you fire a gun you realize its power. and it takes away a lot of the curiosity and mystery. thier will be no need to hide the guns in my house. when he gets old enough, i dont know, 7 or 8, i will buy him his own gun. rule no. 1 is treat every gun like it is loaded and ready to fire. and the first thing you do when you pick up a gun is clear the weapon. this is how my dad taught me, and i never shot anyone. not accidently, anyway.
