My son at 9yrs old is a better shot at the range then most LEO's I've seen shooting there. Between video games & just plain ole simple childs play, guns whether real or fake are a part of life. My son has some friends who are not allowed to play "pretend" guns but if they happen to wind up w/ a group of kids who are playing w/ them, the reaction of the kids is scarey how inamored they are w/ the thought of even having a "gun". My son is aware of how dangerous a gun can be & is taught to respect firearms & knows they are not toys. I don't know how parents can think that if they ignore a subject it just makes it go away.

Some people are still living with that 1950 mentallity, If you do not mention it then a child will not touch it, or question it. Bull both my sons, 13, & 9 have learned from age 5 about guns, I let them shoot at that age and I gave them safety classes everytime we went to the range. Today I know that if my sons were playing with their friends and a firearm comes out that they will leave and tell me ASAP. For they know the dangers and that a gun is not a toy.
