True, except for those unfortunate kids raised by incompetent liberal parents.No - it should start at home with a competent family member from early youth.
A person with safety in mind will find a safe way to handle a firearm even if it means not handling it and an individual who does think about safety is rarely safe. Its a mindset more than a location.
a little late there?I started broaching the subjects at 3 and 4Third grade would be a good starting point.
We cannot be afraid to say something.
move jumped people at ranges, gun store counter monkeys and my own family members who don't exercise proper control, muzzle discipline or boogerpicker control.
See something, say something. You may save a life.
The gun store I went to during my brief residence in LA would say "that is downrange" and point to the back of the store before handing over a firearm. I really liked that. Despite their efforts, I did see some horrifying things from customers. Most scary, probably, was the little old Jewish man buying his first handgun, a Glock 19, and pointing it at everyone in the store while trying to perform the state mandated safe handling demonstration.Most of the very poor gun handling I've seen has been from customers but seems like that it can be with employees as well. I understand that it can be difficult to look at a gun in a crowded store but I try to never flag anyone (after I personally have cleared the gun myself). I find the safest direction when checking out the sights and grip. Should employees, as tactfully as possible, guide people looking at guns to following basic gun safety rules?

We used to have a class called "Hunter Safety" that kids could take around the time when they were about to turn 12, which was (maybe still is) the age when a person could get a hunting license in Oregon. Of course my dad started us shooting way before that but the class was easy credit and did have useful legal info and whatnot.I as well took a class wayyyy back in junior high ...
