I ask because....
I just became a father!
Sofia Gabrielle Barber was born on Monday, February 24th at 6:18 pm. She weighs 7lbs. 13oz. and is 20 1/4" long.
That being said (puffs out chest), when is a good time to begin Firearm Safety lessons? I know that some say 6 or 8 or so, and I think that a child has to have an understanding of concrete facts before introducing such a serious tool into their lives.
But kids who see crud on TV and have access to unlocked guns and their ammo because parents aren't watching them and dcide to go "play" also happen.
So, birthing announcement aside, and given that this child is years from handling a gun of any sort (even air-rifles), what is a good time to begin such instruction?
Thank you,
<very proud right now!!!>
