Don't be stupid. However, teaching children, especially when young, about the rules and responsibilities that go along with firearms ownership is a good thing. Kids who are taught to shoot and taken to the range regularly are less likely to engage in crime later on.
This is partly due to parental/authority figure contact, and partly because firearms are serious business and that attitude gets passed on. This is an attitude we need MORE of in todays society.
Hey BH, what does teaching kids about safety have anything to do with them carrying?
