Why is that? I am 76 years old and there has never been a time that I did not have loaded guns in my home, never once had a visitor pull one on me.
I raised my 3 girls and 1 boy around guns. When they were no longer classifiable as toddlers they were deliberately accustomed to them. They were shooting before they were officially old enough for school. They are all pretty handy with hand guns and long guns.
