With over 35 guns in my house and 20K+ rounds of ammunition, my child has grown up and will continue to grow up with them as part of her every day life. No loaded weapons are with in her reach of course. Because they are a part of every day life for her, they are not mysterious and she pays no special attention to them. She knows they are daddy's and will never touch them with out me around (of course she cant as most are in the safe when I'm not).
It is children who are sheltered from guns who want to "play" with them. Ignorance also plays an important part of most gun related accidents. When a child grows up with them and knows proper handling procedures the chances of an accident are greatly reduced. I am proud of her, she knows what most of them are and can tell you what parts are what. We yell at the ignorant media together when they say "clips" instead of the proper term, "magazine." Today we field stripped this AKM and I tried to teach her how the AKM operating system works. haha
I will admit, she is more interested in fishing right now. She LOVES it. The only problem I have is that she gets angry when we use the shrimp for bait instead of cooking it!
