You know, I've often wondered how many pioneer children shot themselves or their friends while playing with their daddy's rifle or pistol.

That is a good question, but probably not as many as you think. Children back then grew up with guns and they were more of a necessity for feeding themselves, etc. My husband was in the military and his job was to look after (clean, etc) the weapons, so he is very family with fire arms.

The gene pool was much cleaner then.
