Yes the Eddie Eagle program is a great thing indeed I completely agree! That's actually where I got the "Stop!, Don't touch, get an adult" from , I think you mentioned that though :-) It should be required in elementary classes though. My kids are the same way, they've been brought up around firearms of all sorts all their lives. Certainly no mystery there :-) Mike B Michael P.

I'm happy with training, firearm safety should be taught in the schools. In grammer school to be exact. We teach our kids how to walk across the road without getting hit by a car, we teach them how to use scissors, we teach them how to hit a baseball with a bat, we teach them about strangers, we teach them about bad drugs, about medicine, about alcohol....etc We absolutley SHOULD be teaching our kids firearm safety. I'll bet that would prevent more firearm accidents than any other single thing ever could come close.... Won't do a darned thing about gun crimes though, but will make our children safer. The closest I've seen so far is "if you see a gun, stop! Don't touch it, and get an adult".
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! _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
