I have a gunvault for the house gun and carry gun then a normal big safe for everything else. I taught my son starting around 5 years old that if you find a gun, not to touch it, tell an adult and so on. Even with toy guns and BB guns, I taught him finger off the trigger, do not point it at anything you are not willing to destroy and know what is beyond your target. So there is a consistent message. We also had a stern father/son talk to putting the fear of God into him about them. I also told him and continue to tell him. "If ever you want to see or hold any of the guns, just let me know." Very rarely does he ask to see one and almost always it is one that I just got on those rare occasions. He is now 11 and except when we go shooting every so often, could really care less that we have them around and does not go anywhere near them.
So I really feel it is a multi-pronged approach as others have stated. Education of the adults, the kids and lock up the guns that are not on your person.
