Hey All,
I've got some questions if you don't mind:
1) At what age were you introduced to guns?
2) Were you allowed to play with toy guns (pop guns, Super-soakers, Nerf guns, etc.)?
3) How accessible were firearms in your home, and at what age would you say you were reasonably comprehensive that it wasn't something for you to touch without an adult handing it to you?
4) Would you say taking a child shooting early on helps mitigate intrigue, and if so, how young?
5) What does your spouse that isn't 100% 2A say about these things, or are they?
A lot of this stems from me growing up knowing there was a firearm in the house. I was taught around the age of 12 to load and fire a .357. Obviously young but smart enough to know you pull the trigger and the gun goes bang with consequence. Just curious as to others experiences and open to advice. I'm looking to purchase a bedside type safe but am mostly concerned with painted/cerokoted guns these days should my kid find one and what they might actually do in the moment.
Thanks in advance for any knowledge you can send my way
