Public Poll: At what age do you believe people should start teaching their kids about gun safety?

As soon as your child can physically pull a trigger, is it not time to teach them safe gun handling?

Procrastination in teaching your kids or securing your firearms can easily end in tragedy whether at home or at their friends. If you have kids too young to teach gun safety, be sure to use a gun vault or similar storage device for your smaller weapons and handguns next to the bed, etc. These make them secure and reasonably accessible to you. They also aren’t that expensive. Certainly cheaper than the potential consequences. Practice testing them weekly and replace batteries as needed. Rifles should be locked in a gun cabinet or secured with other types of gun locks to help keep curious little fingers away.

I have 2nd hand info with buffalo bore hardcast 9mm. Works just fine with Montana brown bear. Another firearms instructor killed a grizzly rather effectively. You have to have good hits with good ammo.

Sadly, faced with the information publicly available to anyone who bothers to raise their head and look, leads me to a bleak forecast. I believe whatever we do will matter very little.
In 7 to 10yrs on the long end, this current remnant of freedom, whatever still remains of it now, will have completely vanished. Partizan talking heads wargaming strategies and grandiose distractions of political theater are no longer necessary... Palantir runs the show now.
However I will continue to fight because I myself am a lost cause, a loser, and a deplorable. So I find myself in like and good company as far as I am concerned.
