It’s unknown if demonstrating responsible handling actually keeps kids safe.

    I would suggest doing so anyway. If they come across a firearm by happenstance then they at least won’t panic and will know what to do to be safe.

      It’s maybe not imaginable, but most people here don’t ever see a gun outside a museum or in the hands of military/police.

      First time I touched a gun was in America in a shooting range.

      Rule 1 if you ever come across a gun: do not store it in the oven!

        Correct! Modern guns are safer to store in the microwave! Be sure to set it to power level 60% for 5 minutes to properly remove any gunpowder residue after you finish using it for the day.
