I forgot that I had this video until the other day and I figured I'd share it with you all. So since I have lots of "stuff", I train both of my boys that you do not touch ANY firearms unless an adult is around. If they want to touch or see one, just find me and I'll teach them to handle it properly anytime they want. If you come across any here or at a friends house, I told them to go find somebody or myself and not to touch it. A lot of people do the same with their kids but never verify that they actually follow thru with it if actually confronted with the situation. So about 3 years ago, I set up a junk non-working BB pistol in the back yard for my oldest to "find" so I could really see if what I had been teaching him really would work. Below isthe video of that situation. Since then, I've done this a few other times and hid it in better inconspicuous places with the same results. :bacon::headbang::knockonwood::knockonwood::knockonwood:

Yep, works. (Both the video and your lessons.)
Great job. :thumbsup:
 
I was taught the same way! Problem is if my neighbors seen a gun or bb like that the SWAT team would be here and I would be in the papers for teaching a kid to play with guns. Nyc is bad on this subject and even outlawed plastic guns now.. But great job.. Everyone should be taught the same way.. 👍👍👍

Just FYI for all, same as whenever something like this pops up on here:

Do NOT turn this into a political thread/rant/discussion or I'll delete the thread in a heartbeat. All kinds of places to go talk about that online, we don't need to get into it here. We don't delete individual posts or censor things, we just delete the whole shebang as soon as it starts going that way.

Too many good sites and social media is ruined with political garbage, not here.

Reminder: The agreement when you signed on mentioned we have the right to delete anything at any time for any reason. I take it as a point of pride that we VERY rarely ever have to get into that. :cheers:

And with that out of the way, very cool video :thumbsup:
 
Proud Dad moment! Good for you. :thumbsup:

I remember when my son was about 10, I had one of my AR's disassembled on the kitchen table. I had to go to the bathroom- when I came back I found my son waiting outside the kitchen door. I asked him what he was doing, he replied "I was going to get a snack, but there's a gun in there and I can't go into a room with a gun without an adult". That was one of my "Proud Dad" moments.
 
Nice work! I was taught the same way growing up. We always had lots of guns in the house and never had a gun safe. My parents also refused to buy us "toy" guns because my dad said it instills the wrong idea of guns as toys.
 
When I was young we knew where dad kept the shot gun and it was pounded into us never to touch or even go into the closet. Left us with a healthy respect for guns. I wish more parents were like that. I would be very proud of your children.
 
No gun safe in my house growing either. Learned about hunting and guns very early on. Got my first .22 cal at 10 years old. Never touched one of my dads guns without permission. Never even considered it. I knew the butt whooping I would have got. I hope I can teach my kids one day about hunting and guns too.
