Finn Aagard was a professional hunter in old Kenya. He had 2 sons. He had a number of rifles on up to a ,458 Win Mag. House rules when the kids were growing up?
They could shoot any of them they like so long as they asked and he supervised.

With firearms, they learned self-defense and hunting skills. With poker (just chips, no money), they learned decision-making and investing skills.
