My grandfather taught me about gun safety for as far back as I can remember. He didn't keep loaded guns around where we could get them but that wouldn't have mattered because the number one rule was don't touch them without permission and I never saw any of us kids break it. He also drilled into us not to treat them like toys. They were never gotten out for fun. Only to hunt or practice with. Which is not the attitude I see in many other gun owners.
All the gun owners I know talk the biggest talk about safety. Then the moment they get to show it off, they wave their guns around like school children and pointing it at random things and fetishizing it.
Mine is locked up and secured. And if I take it out, I'm using it.
That's my experience as well. When I got old enough that I started going shooting with people outside my family I was frequently shocked with how little regard a lot of them showed for safety. They usually had the basics down but their whole attitude made me very uncomfortable.
You a seem to know a lot of ammosexuals
Kids are kids though and consequences often don't stick in the face of possible adventure. We don't actually fully develop our risk assessment until the age of 25. That's why both sides are important. Teach but also lock them up.
For sure. I was just giving my experience that teaching worked quite well.
You mean he INFRINGED on your RIGHTS to use those Weapons? DISGRACEFUL!
