It’s unknown if demonstrating responsible handling actually keeps kids safe.

    I’m just glad I don’t have to teach my kids gun saftety, as they will most likely only see them on a screen.

      I would suggest doing so anyway. If they come across a firearm by happenstance then they at least won’t panic and will know what to do to be safe.

        It’s maybe not imaginable, but most people here don’t ever see a gun outside a museum or in the hands of military/police.

        First time I touched a gun was in America in a shooting range.

          Correct! Modern guns are safer to store in the microwave! Be sure to set it to power level 60% for 5 minutes to properly remove any gunpowder residue after you finish using it for the day.
