When my great grandson was five he was telling me that it’s dangerous to touch a gun if you see one. I don’t know if he got that info at school or home but I was glad he told me. Now that he’s 12 he likes to shoot with a bee bee gun when he comes out to my land. It’s good for kids to learn gun safety.

Yrs ago, when I worked at Carrie Tingley Children’s Hospital in Albq we had. 5 yr old girl come in for long term rehab -she was partially paralyzed from a gun shot - her 7 yr old sister shot her. Their mom was a super mom who rarely ever left kids with baby sitter - she went to bingo one night to come home to see ambulance at her house. She never had a gun in her house - her husband’s friend hid his gun over a doorway while visiting & the 3 kids saw him hide it. Another friend who recently died in her early 80’s lost her toddler when a neighbor’s child came to her house with a gun and killed her child in his own house.

This is NM so we probably have more guns than many states but I’m definitely for gun safety for kids.
