I like that approach.

When Qs were asked about a gun we answered them & started the dont tell bet by including our carry weapon w/ our underwear. We dont talk about our underwear in public.
That worked so well that when I have been asked if I had a gun on by an adult I used it. "it is not nice to ask people about their underwear in public."

I had the same concerns. I have a 4 yr old daughter who picks up on everything. I like the idea of this is something we don't talk about with strangers. I could completely see her telling the lady behind us in line at Target "My Daddy has a gun!"

I too quiz her about guns and what to do if you see one. Took it to the next level and gave her a practical exam the other day. I triple checked to make sure my glock was not loaded, and left the mag out. I left it on my bed next to a book I was reading. I went into the living room and asked my daughter to go grab my book. She went in there, and came back a few seconds later asking why my gun was on the bed. She did not touch it and came to get me right away. Talking about guns is very important, but I wanted to see what she would do in an actual situation. I was very proud of her.
