You might not want to try and rob his house, even if you subdue him you have got his wife and those three disciplined pistolaros to deal with. 
From the time my childern were 4 years old I began to teach them about not handling any gun unless I was present and always to ask if they could touch my guns when I was cleaning them. They were to never bother my guns unless I was present and then they were to ask if they could handle one. The punishment would have been severe and they new this.
When they got a little older starting with my son who is the oldest I taught them how to shoot. My wife is an outstanding pistol shot and I mean outstanding. My children now grown are very good shots and understand guns and how to handle them and so do my grandchildren. It is the untaught, uneducated and unexperienced with guns that end up in trouble from time to time with the handling of guns.

well spoken bullet. My father raised me the same way around guns. I could handle them but only after i got his permission and assistance. Penalty for not doing it was harsh indeed. As i got older he taught me more gun safety and how to shoot. Its something that is still deeply ingrained in me. If i have kids they will be brought up the same way.

ftsibley, my grandfather taught me how to handle guns, how be safe with them and how to shoot and hunt. He truly was my friend and his lessons, example and encouragement have followed me all my life to this day. I give him the credit for my ability to shoot well and I do think of him often. I have given what he gave me to my son and now I am working with my grandson and he is becoming and outstanding shot to say the least. But more than that!! Every time we go to the range and other men are present they never fail to talk about his discipline while practicing safety at the range. Safty is first with Jordan and it is apparent when you see the steps he goes through while preparing to shoot and how he considers everyone around him at the range. I am very proud of Jordan and he even inspires me and of course when I spend time with him he brings back wonderful memories of my grandfather.ftsibley said:

Bullett your story brings back a memory. When we were young there were guns everywhere in the house and we had a safe that we locked the good stuff up in. My dad did a great job teaching us how to shoot and how to safely handle a firearm. We had a few basic rules when we were young. The biggest rule was do not touch any gun without an adult present. Being a hardheaded boy you know I had to try my dad. He was off hunting somewhere and I went and got my favorite colt .45 out of the safe. I was very careful not to disturb anything and after I was done playing with it I put it back just as I had found it ( I did clear the gun and use good safety while playing with it). It was the perfect crime. My dad would never know. So I thought. I didn't consider the little grubby kid fingerprints I had put all over the gun.
Well dad figured it out and I recieved without a doubt the worst butt whipping I ever got. I still remember it 30 plus years later. Dad knew that this was serious and that he had to put a stop to it and BOY DID HE. My dad had been dead for 15 years now and that colt .45 is now my pride and joy. Even today when I go to the safe to get it out I look over my shoulder and I think about that whipping.
Some people may not agree with whipping your kid, but that one screw up taught me a lesson that I have not forgotten. Dad knew if I was allowed to play with guns someone may get hurt. He did what he had to do to protect me. As I got older he taught me how to be a responsible gun owner, but when I was that young I needed that lesson.

Well, God does not think it is wrong to discipline a child and because of that I disciplined mine out of love with spankings at times that were earned by them; because of their disobedience and lack of respect. You spare a child from spankings and you will loose a child to their own self-centered ways with rebellion as their code of conduct, and it will cost them in numerous ways through life and might even cost them their lives one day; all because they were not taught to obey rules and respect others as well as themselves.

I must agree, I have similar photos of my son. That was 40 years ago and no one would have said anything about it. Now it's a topic, to some.
Yeah, I bought a .22 revolver just for teaching the kids. Enjoyed watching JPBmidas showing his son the ropes and stressing safety, brought back memories. Letting them shoot releaves their wonder about them. Any time they wanted to see one, we'd pull one out and go through the safety part, checking the chamber and such. Never had any trouble with them wanting to get ahold of one so I didn't have to hide them. If they had guest, we put them up so the guest wouldn't get into one and secondly, didn't want them talking about the guns I owned and some POS breaking in.
