My daughter is 6 and she was told up front about it. We explained that she can talk about it in the privacy of the home but not in public. I took her with me clothes shopping as I needed new conceal shirts and she didn't say a word like it was normal to be there. Of course we have been working with her and letting her shoot since last year. She knows the rules, was excited to have the lesson at school and already have all the answers. She has no interest in handguns at this time, recoil on my walther p22 is a little much. We did purchase her a cricket and added a scope.


We also did the leave an unloaded open with no mag out on the bed and had her bring us something and she came screaming to hurry and get it put up. When we first brought them home we allowed her to hold, touch and ask any questions she wanted and followed it up by a trip to the range.

I think making it a normal everyday thing helps with her not being curious or exposing it.

What do you guys do with your nightstand guns? Do you keep one out with the kiddos or keep it under lock and key?

Right now I have nothing within reach for middle of the night but not sure with the kiddo getting up when sick or having nightmares on occassion.
