    I’ve been to too many calls for dead children who shot themselves on accident when they found an unsecured firearm at their homes. It’s horrifying and I know those parents will live the rest of their lives with regret and sorrow for not taking the proper steps. These tragedies are preventable and this conversation is important.

      I love shooting and owning firearms but this is one powerful, emotionally-charged argument for use by the anti-gun crowd. More people die by guns that belong to them or a family member than by home invasions. I myself try to secure all mine except for the ONE I have staged, but I don't have kids.

    Growing up in the 60s my dad was a drill sergeant and living in a trailer there wasn’t much room to hide anything. I knew my dad had weapons and he told me as a young child if you want to see them and learn how to use them I will teach you but if I catch you playing with them it’s your butt. I knew he meant it. Some of my earliest memories as a kid is being at the military firing range with my dad. It’s lessons that I have never forgotten and have passed on to my son who is a Marine and he is passing on to his son. The lessons my father taught me got me through 28 years of law-enforcement and I have been an instructor in multiple weapon formats for 25 years.

    Great talk. I was lucky in that both my parents grew up in the country and were used to firearms. Further, my father fought In the Pacific in WWII. I'm also grateful for my particular temperament. My dad kept a rifle under the couch, a shotgun in the pantry, a revolver in his basement office and a revolver in his night stand. From early on, I knew where they were. He showed me how dangerous they were and compared them to a circular saw and other tools that could hurt you if you were careless...and would regularly remind me.
    When I was 9, Dad started taking me to a nearby hunting area. He started me on the revolvers, then the rifle and when I was large enough to handle the recoil, the 12-gauge. All the while he was giving me the handgun fundamentals. I wasn't curious at all about firearms. I didn't play with them when I was home alone. Nor did I do so when my friends were over.
    I remember one time when I was 12, two 19-20 yo guys who were working on one of my dad's rental properties tried to fight him. They had done a half-assed job (even I could see that) so he was going to pay them half the money. My mom and I were watching from the screen door. My mom told me to get the rifle (all Dads firearms were kept loaded.) I ran to get it and fast-walked to the back door while working the bolt to put a round in the chamber. I took the rifle off safe and handed it to my mother (giving her the status of the rifle. She held it at a low ready but didn't need it. I got back in time to see one of the young guys falling to the ground knocked out and the other knocked down by a combo from my dad. Then he made the still awake guy drag his friend off his property and said he'd shoot them if he ever saw their asses again. You couldn't wipe the smile of little me's face for weeks. (You know how little boys say, "My daddy can whoop your daddy's ass?)
    As far as my daughter and now grandkids... They're not me. My daughter's (mostly) too kind-hearted. I tried teaching my wife how to shoot, but she just didn't have the aptitude. The grandkids are small, so I have a gun safe for my firearms, edged and blunt weapons. I intend on taking them shooting (and explaining how to stay safe around weapons - and power tools) when they're older.

    I lost a childhood friend, to an incident with a gun, that was forbidden fruit. He waited until his parents were gone, assembled the gun, which his father had disassembled, loaded the gun, and set it in the window. Later, when he heard someone coming, he went to the window to look out. Apparently, he bumped the gun, knocking it to the floor, causing it to fire. I just hope he didn't suffer very long. It's been years since I thought of this story, but it hasn't changed my mind on guns in the home.

      It honestly should be taught even if you don’t have a gun because you probably know someone who does and at some point your kids will be in their homes. I didn’t grow up with a gun in my house but had an Uncle who was a cop, others who hunted, and cousins who would inevitably set up targets in the backyard after a bbq if we visited out in the country. I’m from Texas, it’s just in our culture. Pretty sure we have some ancient long guns rusting in the attic from a grandpa at this very moment.

I did the same with my kids. (Though they are in a safe) They’re 13 & 15 now. Been shooting the last 6-7 years with them. To this day I make them receipt the rules on the way to go shoot. Last weekend the three of us got together built and AR from scratch. Awesome bonding time with my boys. I love how they appreciate guns. We’re going shooting on the 17th.

    Our 'number 3' thing was very similar on what we did for our two boys.
    We did this when they were able to speak (like kid talk, not baby talk) and able to hold a small conversation.
    We took them to the local produce market and found a melon that was almost the same size as their head. When we were looking at them to pick one, I held it against his head and said, "Same size as your head huh?"
    "Yep."
    Then I knocked on the melon and then his head and said, "About the same hardness too... Huh? Knock on it and then knock on your head and trek me what you think."
    He did and nodded his head in agreement. "Yeah!?"
    "Ok" I said, "let's go pay for these and go have some fun!"
    I know it was important to do this Before getting to the range, so they could keep concentration solely on this moment.
    We got to the range and went thru all the basics of gun safety etc. Then I brought out the melon. "Remember this?" I asked him.
    "Yeah", looking very surprised.
    "Ok. You remembered we did the whole knocky thing and size of your head thing..." His eyes were wide open and nodding his head fast. "Ok. I'm going to put this on the top of that pole out there and then we're going to shoot it with your gun." He just stood there motionless and watched me place it on the pole, eyes wide open.
    I came back and asked him if he was ready. He shook his head... "Ok" I said. "Ka-POW!!"
    The melon exploded!
    I turned and looked at him. Shocked, and then came the smile!
    I said in a more serious tone, "Ok, now you remember that melon right?" He shook his head in agreement. "And now you what your little 410 can do," he kept on shaking his head, "And this is little to my big gun, right?" He nods his head faster. I changed my tone to a softer approach, "Mom and I never want to see you like that squished melon over there, ok" He slowed his head and nodded. "So please don't ever touch these things until you get better at them. I don't want to see an accident happen to you or anyone else."
    Shaking his head, "Ok."
    "Promise?"
    "Yeah I won't"
    "Good!" I said smiling. "Now let's have some fun!"

    Great discussion points! My biggest hesitation to having firearms in my home for many years was my young children. When my youngest was about 3 she was FASCINATED with them and it TERRIFIED me! The biggest deterrent for her and her older siblings was actually taking them to the middle of nowhere and letting them see them in action. The young ones sat on dad's lap or stood in front of him with his arms on either side of them and he held the rifle or handgun and helped them pull the trigger. It was a safe way to let them feel the power of a firearm and realize that they are tools, NOT TOYS. We don't call them dad's toys, even in jest. They are always tools. This video is a good reminder to have another follow up discussion with our kids.
    And make certain every person around you knows those 4 rules. I know someone whose husband taught her to shoot but he didn't teach her about keeping her finger off the trigger. It resulted in an accidental discharge, which would've been avoided with proper teaching of those four simple rules.

Thats why I have made it a top priority to get my son involved with whatever I'm doing with guns and remove all of that mystique and temptation.

    Got this idea from an LEO friend of mine. Allows you to keep pistols well out of reach, ready for action.
    Get a kydex holster with good retention. Set it up with a QLS system. Take the QLS plate and mount it on the wall (either in the stud or with drywall anchors) inside your closet door over the door frame (or high up on the side of you’re vertically challenged...sorry John). You can then take your holster with the QLS fork and lock it in hanging upside down. This way all you have to do is jump out of bed and grab it from your closet. Kids can’t reach it and it’s hidden from view.
    Other benefit is that when you want to go to the range you just take the holster from the closet and put it in the QLS plate on your battle belt.

    As an addendum to my other comment:
    I love teaching my son how to run all the functions of each gun I own because: it allows me to normalize guns to him, he slowly learns how everything works, he learns all of the safety rules/ checking for clear, and it lets me know what he's physically capable of doing should he ever get one. That helps me know what adjustments I need to make for storage and staging. Cheers

    Great video! My son is almost 15 and has been shooting since he was 3. Never had to hide knives, bows, or guns from him. He was taught that they are dangerous, and also taught how to properly use them.

    How did you train your guns and how do I go about doing the same thing?

    I like my touch safe; I've gotten use to doing it in the dark, so I can do it literally with my eyes closed.

    I just transitioned from keeping stuff ready on the shelf or top cabinet to quick access safes. Totally agree with these concepts.
