[QUOTE="forindooruseonly, post: 3899565, member: 13718"] My father always said if you are going to teach a kid to shoot, don't turn it into a mystery. If a kid is interested, they are going to be curious, so he always took the time to answer, show and explain all gun related things whenever I asked about them. I wasn't ever sneaking into my parents closet to root around, because I knew what was there and what it was for, as well as how it worked. However, I had friends who did root around and didn't know much about guns, mainly because their parents wouldn't teach them for any multitude of reasons. Basically, normalize safe shooting and firearms handling. A curious kid and parents that turn guns into a mystery is a dangerous combination. [/QUOTE]
