[QUOTE="Swiftkill, post: 1899081, member: 104167"] When your child shows RESPECT and listens to what you say. I was fortunate, my son was very well behaved. I did not want him to be curious and try to get to my stuff without me. I took the "mystery" out of it and he knew there was a time and place for everything. He knew how loud guns were and I showed him how stuff blows up when you shoot them, like water bottles and melons. He started shooting with me before he was 5 years old! I got some flack from friends and relatives who only know the bad side of guns that are in the news. My son just turned 18 and he is nearly a pro shooter. He is a top action shooter in my club. He is a great student and on his way to Engineering School at Virgina Tech, if we get past this Covid 19 crap. I think proper education and training with guns develops great responsibility and character. He is around a lot of shooters and range officers that require rules to be followed and he sees the importance of following rules. He is safer with guns than ANY of the shooters and hunters I see and know. Including ME! Ok, I can't help bragging a little, but I am very proud of him. [/QUOTE]
