[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t pick up a gun. Assume all guns are loaded. Don’t let someone show you their parents gun. Get away from the area if someone has a gun. Not sure what to teach exactly but I feel like some sort of gun safety/avoidance should be taught. Surprised no one has mentioned this. Thanks for the other tips by the way. I didn’t know to teach “you’re not my mom/dad” instead of “no!” But it makes sense. Also adults shouldn’t be asking for kids help is a good one. I think I’ll pass on how to get out of a trunk, but maybe I should learn that for myself. [/quote]

THere is an excellent, free safety program for kids called Eddie the Eagle; it teaches them to 1) not touch a gun they happen to find, 2) leave the area, and as soon as possible, 3) tell an adult.

THey did this program at my kids pre-school and they still remember it.  Its all about keeping kids safe.  They even had a cute Eddie mascot who visited; kids loved it. [/quote]

Eddie the Eagle is an NRA program that exists to enable the NRA to pretend that it's doing something about gun safety. It's existed for 40+ years and as evidenced by the rate of gun deaths among children in the United States: it doesn't work. [/quote]

It worked great for my kids.  Has kept them safe all these years.  All the advice received was sound and reliable.

Maybe you should put kids safety ahead of your bitter partisan politics.[/quote]

How many times did your kids come across an unsecured gun in “all these years”? Exactly what happened when they did?[/quote]
