Look, I’m not saying threatening to beat kids is in any way a good thing (it’s not), but if you’ve got guns in the household it’s you’re responsibility to put the fear of god into them of what happens if they touch it without an adult present.I mean, I don’t think my dad would have actually done that, but it did get me to listen. He made it clear that if I wanted to learn about firearms he’d tell me anything I wanted to know, and later on he’d show me. And by the time I was old enough to learn if I wanted to practice for hunting he’d set up a course on our property.
