Amen, sister.
Iron Crotch needs to order a copy of
To Train Up a Child, by Michael and Debi Pearl.
When the Pearls wanted to teach their toddlers gun safety, they would just leave a gun laying around in the living room. Every time a kid reached for it, they would shout "NO!" and swat the kid on the hand with a hickory switch.

After taking the toddler through the "No" saying, hand-switching sessions, they knew guns were always off limits. Every day they played around the gun without touching it. I never had to be concerned with their going into someone else's house and touching a gun. I didn't gun-proof my house, I gun-proofed my children.
