That's the Eddie Eagle program - probably one of the best things to
ever come out of the NRA (besides Neal Knox of course). Massad Ayoob
(sp?) also had an excellent book for teaching kids - young kids even.

For mine it was pretty easy. You surround them with guns, let them
shoot, handle new pistols, etc.. They're de-mystified that way. Both
of mine have pretty much been within 5 feet of a loaded pistol their
entire lives - and not once have they even looked at it twice. They're
not even interested in guns these days, unfortunately. :(

At any rate, I had my daughter take the Eddie Eagle video to school
with her, kindergarten. I remember than one of her teachers remarked
that it might be possible we save a child's life that day - and the
truth is, it IS possible!
