We have taught him that guns are dangerous and that they could really hurt him but because he is still a kid we know that it may not be enough. His mother and i bought an airsoft for him that he is using to learn to shoot. we treat it as if it were a real firearm right down to putting it into the safe when we are done using it. also we use eye protection. We are teaching him to come and find an adult if he finds a gun somewhere. This is working because he spotted a shotgun hanging on a wall as a decoration at a friends home a couple weeks ago and asked repeatedly why it wasn't locked up where no bad guys could get it. Toy guns are difficult but so far we have been able to buy them to be either white bright orange or green to make them appear ad far removed from a real gun as possible. we are making the effort to make him treat them as if they are real. he watches everything that i do with a firearm whether it be cleaning or dry firing and it has been some really quality father son time for us. he has won more than 1 cookie in our family airsoft challenge. Talking with the parents of your child's friends is also important. My nephews mother was trribly afraid of firearms until one day that they were here. my nephew wanted to shoot the airsoft gun. she was hesitant so i asked her to shoot it first. It took her a little while to decide to but by the end of the night she was shooting .22 revolver and is considering some safety training and a pistol of her own. We showed her our safe and how everything was stored in a safe manner. She thought that all of us gun owners stored our stuff under the bed or hung it on the wall. Another of my wifes friends carries a revolver in her purse and if they would not have talked about that they wouldn't go to a range together once in a while. My views have changed through the years i used to think that my fathers hunting rifles hanging high up on the bedroom wall with the ammo in his closet was good enough. Now i realize the value of a good safe or locking gun cabinet. As a funny aside my boy has taken his mothers side in the Glock vs XD argument around this house. I traded my glock for an xds. sorry for he book but i hope this helps. Raccoon1969: Ladies, Just listened to your Winter Shooting Fun episode, I really like the idea of putting hand warmers in the magwell. For shooting in the snow, you both or invited to the \"Nor'easter\" match at Harvard Sportsmen's Club, northwest of boston, at the end of January. The past two years it has snowed during the match. Last year the was significant snowfall over night before the match. One more thing, I really like the idea of the hand warmers on the shoulders,
