I must say how times have changed though. As kids growing up from toddlers on, guns were as common in our homes as cell phones are laying around the house today. In my house or any of my friends houses guns were piled behind every door, laying on counters, hanging on open gun racks in the living rooms, they were literally everywhere. We never thought twice about messing with them or playing with them, they were no big deal, they were boring to us actually. "Unless we decided to grab a 22 and go plinking or rabbit hunting" we never had an accident, a robbery, a death, a shooting, nothing.... Oh the good old days. And you can bet we didn't go sneaking through moms stuff!! LoL

I give my grandchildren the same choices I gave my son. "Do you want a big glass of milk or as little glass of milk?" Guided choices to learn.
