Message: <blockquote data-quote="ssgrock3" data-source="post: 1014814" data-attributes="member: 71">just as soon as they know what end the bullet comes out, and the meaning of safe or not safe.   I used to run traps by myself at age 8-9, with an ancient drp block .22 that required a pocket knife to get the .22 short out of.  Makes you a good shot if that is all you got.  Granted this ways Way over 30 years ago, in an oklahoma farm community, but I think it is my responsibility to teach my sons and daughters about how guns work, safety and how the weapons operate for their safety and defense.  There are kids my 8 yr olds age in africa that are fighting already.  But on the other hand, we need to let our kids be kids, if they aren't interested right now, then give them some time.. you might be surprised one day while cleaning a weapon that one of the kids just comes over and sits down and watches or asks questions.</blockquote>
