Yah...I'd have to say that it's a good idea that you have those locked up! LOL My two are still to small to even reach them and of course they're not loaded and the ammo is in a separate place. But i'm guessing it won't be long before i'll have to find a better place for them.
100 straight!? Wow she's awesome!
And no i'd say you got a really good deal there.
I learned when I was young that the best teaching in the world flies out the window when a fascination of something develops. We were raised on gun safety. Couldn't even point our fingers at someone and say "bang! You're dead!" in games of pretend when we were small. We were taught we could pretend shooting ducks and deer and even the fish on the wall, but we could never point things at people. We were taught that shells are shells and belong in guns. And then, only when hunting or out on the field shooting skeet and trap, but never never never never to be played with at home just for the heck of it.
And know what? My brother and I discovered in our teens, that if you take a shell apart and dump the powder on the porch outside, that you can light it and there are fireworks.
We played with the very thing it'd been drummed into our heads not to play with - and did it all in the hour and a half between when we got home from school and when my folks got home from school - so, when the kids got old enough here, and my parents had room in their safe, I took all of that to their house and locked it up. Figured it was better down there than in their imaginative little hands.
mnottertail: Guess that's better than them finding a collar and getting all excited at the prospect of getting another dog. "Oh honey, someone sent that to me for Max, but it doesn't fit him."... "Can we get another dog that it WILL fit? PLEEEEEASEEEE?!!!"
