All of my kids but one is gone now, and she is 14 and knows the respect of guns. They all know how to shoot them and always have.

If you have to have them, make sure they are the kids are always taught to respect the power and of them and that the results are not changeable... people with kids and guns that don't show respect to both... well. that just scares me!
