So says the woman in the house. When my kids were 2 yrs old, they were still unsteady walking around and playing with rubber toys.

My 18 month old is walking more steady and playing with books and electronics. She has also started to jump down from chairs and beds, and climbing things. Still, my firearms are secured and locked away.

Must not have been an AR, AK or the like.

Regardless, why again was a two year old handling a rifle?

According to the woman in the house. But a good.question. I have photos of my dad with me and my bro playing with squirt guns when I was 1 year old or so?

Two questions: Did he have life insurance? And did she have a boyfriend?

Did they check the GF for GSR? If she was clean, then Darwin bestowed his award too late - the gene pool is still polluted.

So says the woman in the house. When my kids were 2 yrs old, they were still unsteady walking around and playing with rubber toys.

At two, my oldest was opening the fridge, pulling out a gallon of milk and pouring her own glass (and spilling a lot too). She was also removing hand tight screws from a machine I was building in my basement. The youngest had similar strength and agility, but the middle two were and are wimps by comparison.
She didn't have the hand strength to pull the trigger on my P7s, but none of my guns were EVER anywhere near her, and the loaded one in the bedroom was even out of reach of the ex.
