Another Christmas related thread.
It seems that a lot of people are getting thier child a pellet gun or something this year for Christmas, which leads me to ask....
At what age, if at all, did your children (those who have them) show any intrest in firearms? It seems like it's almost a universal phenomenon that a lot of kids (especially boys) will fashion sticks, dolls, toast, or anything that comes to hand into a gun and start going "BANG! BANG! BANG!" at another kid, who of course, will return in kind.
My kid is 4 right now, and I'm not sure he even knows what a gun is, which is fine with me. However, if he does show an interest, (which I assume he will do) I want him to participate safely in the sport, and most importantly, know what to do if he is ever at a friend's house, and there is a loaded gun accessable by kids there.
Right now, my kid has only seen me use my paintball gun, which he helps load sometimes, so now all shooting is "painting" for him. When does this turn into real interest in guns?
