Enjoy them while they are young. They grow up too quickly.

Talking excitedly to family about a gun purchase or deals on bulk purchases led to my kids as pre-schoolers talking to others. I had one parent come by asking to confirm if we had a gun, then freaking out when I showed her the “protected by glock” sign we had. Explaining that I work in downtown of a big city or could protect my family from a late night intruder was irrelevant. “Guns bad, you have gun, no more play dates.”
I’ve shifted our “play dates” to focus on friends from church, people who home school and have similar values and those at the private school the oldest now attends. There are neighborhood children on the street my kids now see only driving past and trick or treating. But I no longer have neighbors asking why I have a gun (or more) or why I bought so much of something.
