    True. I wouldn’t hand my kids bb guns at 8. I’m also sure you don’t hide dangerous items completely from your kids, and some way demonstrate using them responsibly.

    I don’t own any guns myself, so I used nerf rival guns to demonstrate safety to my children. Again, my biggest concerns are what to do with a found firearm, never point one at anything you don’t want to shoot.

    I also allowed them to hang out with Grandpa for an afternoon and familiarize themselves with firearms. If they were more interested in firearms, a bb gun would have been okay for them to take out to Grandpa’s firing range. I’m only referring to a spring action device, and my children are a little older.

      Completely. Not a drop of bleach within reach.
