Child gun safety
I have 2 girls., I started teaching them that guns were dangerous. They were only to be used on a range and to protect oneself. I showed them my guns, handguns as well as long guns. I did not lock them up. But to reinforce my telling them how dangerous guns were, I did not allow them any toy guns, PERIOD. They knew what they were, so if they saw them, they did not become curious. As they became teenagers, I let them know that whenever they were interested, we would go to a range. Only one showed any interest. They are now in their late 20s and the youngest is the only one to shoot on a regular basis, and she prefers the 1911. Is thinking about competition. She has her own 9mm and a 1911. The eldest did eventually want to shoot, preferring a .38, but has no interest in owning one. This worked for me and neither my wife or I ever worried about gun safety. I started early with safety and practiced it.
