[QUOTE="garytx, post: 3900239, member: 49752"] All of the above suggestions are great. - Remove curiosity - Teach the [URL='https://eddieeagle.nra.org']Eddie Eagle Gun Safety Program[/URL] - Stop. Don't Touch. Get Away. Tell an Adult. - Teach them to keep their index finger pointed and off the trigger - Don't point guns - Teach their parents. Dislike/distrust of firearms is partially due to lack of knowledge. When my kids (and nephews and nieces) were little, after purchasing another firearm I would sit in the middle of the floor and show them what I purchased. Each time, emphasizing keeping their finger off the trigger and not pointing the barrel at anyone. If they inquired about other firearms, I would get it from the safe so they could see it. They would slowly get bored and one-by-one go do something else. [/QUOTE]
