[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 2859852, member: 34578"] I should elaborate that the extent we take it to "treat it like a real firearm" for the children and their BB guns is very serious. Even we as adults treat them as if they were a .22. They have their own mini-range and must call out for an all clear before they go down range to inspect their targets. They DO NOT shot at anything not "approved for the range", they cannot leave them lying around or on the ground, the safety is always on when not being actively shot, they are wiped down before putting them away and they each have a small "rifle case/sleeve" that they are stored in. We have found this to be the best way to give them actual experience at applying the safety rules and proper care, while keeping actual risk to a minimum. And they all know if anyone should ever get hit by a negligent discharge that the punishment is bad enough that they don't want to find out what it is.... I am very proud of my children. Ask any one of them what the first safety on a firearm is. Every one will tell you it is the person holding the firearm. [/QUOTE]
