Then get out there and train your kids to shoot, teach and drill in safety rules, take all of the curiosity out of the gun, to where they see it as a tool, not something to play with. Constant training, and drilling with the firearm is the only proven way to stop ND's by family members. Those who have shot with my son and I should know he's only 13, been shooting since he was 5yrs old. Even so I still focus on his training, and safety drill's. My daughter is soon to be 11yrs old, and has gone through the same type training. She doesn't shoot that often, but does enjoy a day shooting steel poppers. Main thing is she knows the rules, and since both have been around firearms since they were old enough to know what they are, the curiosity is gone. Now all my guns stay in the safe except for the ones I'm carrying, and my shotgun, niether have any desire to touch or hold them, and both will ask to see their guns from time to time, mostly to tear it down and clean it. My son does like to do dryfire drill's, but only under my supervision. Thats the best advise I can give, teach, teach, teach, and followup with questions of proper safety. Hiding the guns only makes them more curious about what it is. Yes I understand peer preasure, and with my son I have no worries there, he's learned more about firearms than some adults I know, and thinks all his friends are idiots at school when he tells them shooting is a sport. My daughters friends just look at her wierd when she tells them she has her own rifle and pistol, and goes shoot with her dad.</blockquote>
