[QUOTE="ewheeley, post: 1004343, member: 10387"] I agree with familiarizing them as young as possible. I was about six when my dad let me shoot, but I was immediately punished for shooting the Red Ryder straight up in the air. Rest assured I never did that again. I think most accidental shooting deaths could be avoided if the gun owners and parents took the time to educate their children about the weapons, and the respect they deserve, rather than pushing the issue under the rug. If parents avoid it, it just becomes the subject of typical childhood curiosity, and therefore a risk. [/QUOTE]
