I am a Gun Owner and am Pro Gun. My Wife and Children have been Extensively Taught over and over Again Gun Safety. The Biggest Mistake I have seen in the Gun Classes that my Children have Attended is they Never Say to **ALWAYS KNOW THE CONDITION OF THE FIREARM WHEN YOU FIRST PICK IT UP** They Tell them to Handle a Firearm like it is Loaded at All Times (which is Good), but they Should Stress to Everyone; Check the Firearm as Soon as it is in your Hand and Make Sure it is Loaded/Unloaded and Never Assume Anything when it comes to a Firearm. My Children were Taught at Home from the Ages of 5 to Clean and Inspect Firearms of All Calibers and Makes. The Instructors of the State Sponsored Classes have said to me that my children Handle Firearms Safer tha Anyone they have Ever had in their Classes. The Largest Number of Accidents and Deaths from Firearms Not Used in Crimes are from Supposedly "Unloaded Guns". If 1 Parent could Stay Home and Supervise the Children, then there would be less Problems with Firearms and Other Problems in Society all together. I have what some would consider an Arsenal Also.
