Raised 3 of them which are college educated, good jobs, trained in gun safety from an early age, they all own their own guns now.. We have a couple shotguns and pistols in the home at all times, had them before they were born. We dont keep them loaded and ready and out where someone could pick we up and use it. We use for recreation use, re:trap and skeet..target practice. We use a gun safe. Keys are with husband and I. Common sense is all that is needed to prevent tragedies.
