I will start off this topic by stating for the record, that I will not confirm or deny that I have firearms in the house.

That being said, there are a few things that I think that should be done when having firearms in the house.
1) There needs to be a conversation between you and your spouse. Both parties need to be aware and in agreement that there are/will be firearms in the house. And both you and your spouse need to be able to safely and responsibly be able to handle the firearms in the house as well.
2) Firearms that are in the house should be locked up. The firearms should be locked up and the keys should be in a place that you as the adult can easily reach the guns easily, but that the children can not.
3) The needs to be a conversation with your children when they are of age, to know, understand and respect firearms. The first time that I held a firearm, I believe that I was 10.  I knew that my father them in the house and I knew that I was not supposed to touch them. I was raised to respect firearms, not be afraid of them. But I also knew what would happen to me if I touched them when my father was not there as well.  And let’s just say that I would not be able to sit comfortably the rest of the night.
4) I personally would not want to teach my children how to shoot a firearm, for no other reason than, I think that there are others that could do it better and ensure better gun safety tips than I could.
5) Have them join the NRA, even as a Jr. Member.

I believe that you as an American citizen has the right under the 2nd Amendment to have the right to own firearms. But I also think that as a parent, you have a right to yourself and your children to be smart when it comes to firearms.
