Children and guns

[sooperdooper]

If my son hid one of his toys in my safe and I found it, I'm sure I would look just as dumbfounded as the kids who found a gun in their toy box.

And... You'd look down the barrel?

If you have kids at home, guns go to safe, always. EDC from the hip to the safe, always.

Even though my kids are very well trained in gun safety, always in the safe.

Ditto!

Our children are grown now. I worked as a LEO as they were growing up and I never locked up a gun or even hid it. Never not one problem.

Now that we have grand kids it is a different story. All of the guns hidden are collected and placed in the safes and EDC on the hip.

I am not sure why the difference in just one generation. My dad retired as Chief Deputy after spending 29 years in LEO. He never locked his guns up and I never had a notion to play with them.

The psychiatrist they use on these "pro-safety" shows make absolutely no sense. I do not know what has happened through the decades, but it appears common sense has been stolen away from this generation.

I carried a stainless S&W 357 as my sidearm. Mind you we live/lived in south Texas where “Texas has miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles (Red Skelton) and we might need to reach out to someone the .45 might not get to. I bought a nice trigger lock and if you put it on correctly the only way someone could hurt themselves with it would be to drop it on their toes. We had more than one conversation about what to do if they saw another child with a real gun and other firearm scenarios.

My point in my prior post is that if the NRA or another organization/person doesn’t start making short videos for television pointing out how ridiculous the anti gunners are, we could very easily lose this war.

I hate to Abraham a previous post but wanted to zero in on something you posted that I absolutely agree with. Why not put out a video making an issue of how ridiculous some of these "studies" are?
