GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[Cynical Ninja]

You do both user. You [again not talking about you, just in general] act like a parent and teach the child values. You realize that a child of that age dont understand the difference between shooting someone in a video game and shooting them in real life. There is no reset button in life, like there is in a video game.

You also restrict access to firearms. Not to the point that the child never sees them. To the point where they cannot get ahold of that loaded firearm. Earlier in this thread when I stated that my grandson and I were having breakfast together and the loaded handgun that I carry daily was laying between us on the table, I did not mean he actually had access to it. Yes it was right there in front of him and yes it was loaded, but it was holstered in a high retention holster [it has a "lock" on it that unless you know where and what to push it cannot be unholstered] and if I were to get up from the table I would have removed it. My grandson is at that age where he wants to do everything, you know, get the milk, get the silverware, etc. So I let him and that makes him feel like more of a adult.

Is my way the right way for everyone? No, I would never say it is. I feel every parent, grand parent, or even guardian should evaluate the child's maturity level and decide for themselves. What is good for one is not good for all.

Why did you need a loaded gun on the table next to you when you having breakfast with your grandkid?

Its like you are expecting a PCP fuelled nigger with an UZI to come crashing through your front door at any second.

Are you that paranoid? You've get a gun under your pillow as well haven't you?
