[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 3899981, member: 684"] When my grandson was about 9 or so, I noticed he started to get really curious about my guns. So one day, I got my little Taurus PT-22 (about his size) unloaded it, passed it around to everybody in the house for them to also verify that it was empty. I then proceeded to give it to him to carry it around day and night, whenever he was at our house. But before I gave it to him, I told him the Cooper's 4 rules of gun safety and made him memorize them and recite them back to me. He carried it around for awhile, and then after a day or two, I noticed he was watching TV but his gun was in the kitchen on the table. "Where's your gun?" I asked him. "I dunno," was his response. I said, "you need to go find it," I replied. "I'm sick of carrying it around," he answered. He hasn't been intrigued about guns since that day. He always accompanies me to the range whenever I go and twice a year he goes with me to my agency's pistol requals. I make him recite the Cooper's 4 rules and the guys I work with think that is so cool. This year, I gave him a quick tutorial on grip, stance, trigger control, and sight alignment then let him shoot my Glock model 45 (from about 5 yards) and he loved it. He did pretty good too.
