Keep Your Guns Out of Your Kids' Hands!!!

This is precisely the reason I refuse to keep them in my house.

Do you keep a lighter, electricity, a stove or water in your home? All of those kill more young children in accidents every year than guns.

You know they make safes, right?

Good lord.

I still don't believe anyone can "teach" a 3yr old to not touch a gun.

You might be able to tell them not to touch one, but they don't understand why...and that's the difference. Understanding the consequences.

I wouldn't say that. My nephew asked "that can hurt me?" I said yes. He said "it can kill me?" I said yes. He has seen a firearm on my side as long as he has known me. He has had an interest in them since he has been around me because I am the only positive adult male influence in his life. At 2.5 or so he knew where the gun shop I frequent was, and what street it was on. He would ask anyone that drove him past the road or that area if he could go to the gun shop. I didn't teach him where it was, but he knew.

Teach? Yes. Test? Often. Trust a 3 year-old? Never. Lock em up with little ones around.

EXACTLY!!!
