Condition one and on me until bed then next to me on the night stand. All others (except my wife's CCW gun) are locked in a safe. My last kid at home is 13 and has been shooting since age 5. He knows exactly what to do (or not do) with my 1911 or XD40 carry guns or anything else I own. (He also knows he can't come in my room without waking me.) Older children must demonstrate proficiency and judgement with firearms through training AND handling. My son (and his sisters before him) are a part of my home defense plan-not a hindrance to it. A gun you can't use is no gun at all. In a few years I'll have to trust him with a 2500 pound weapon. Should I be scared? Should he be prepared? Semper Fi & Molon Labe
