Wanted to share this:
My son had a friend over today. The friend wanted to go into the garage to get some toy or another, but my son said "No, my dad's guns are out there." (He's only six--and they're actually only AK kit guns, not assembled/no receivers). The other little boy said "Cool! let's go look!" My son said no way, and informed his mom--and even did that in a non-tattle type of way. Of course my wife told him how proud she was and he asked if dad would be too?
I dunno, think I'm proud?
So, I'm thinking he gets a new gun since he continues to display such responsibilty. He has a ruger 10/22, I'm thinking he needs a shotgun now.
If you're a parent, please don't ignore your kids and their curiousity. My boys can look at the guns ANY time they want--IF a grown up is there. I always let them look and reinforce the safety rules. I'm happy to say it seems to be working, but I have no plans to relent on the training.
