[QUOTE="cbj5259, post: 15136101, member: 75268"] I guess my situation is a little different as I carry as a requirement of my occupation, but the impression it leaves on my children is the same as anyone else. My kids know that a gun is a tool that is just one of the tools on daddy's belt. They have grown up seeing me with one and it really doesn't phase them. I removed the "mystery" of the gun a long time ago...as soon as they started asking questions. Let them look at it and ask questions. Children are naturally curious and will be all the more curious if you shroud it in mystery. Once you remove the curiosity from the equation they won't care any more. I've explained it to them as if it were a car. Cars help people move around and do important stuff, but used improperly or handled by a child they can injure or kill people. So I always explain that someday when they are old enough to drive a car and be responsible we can discuss learning how to handle a firearm. As far as being concerned about what they might say to others...I would just let them know that some people are afraid of guns just like some people are afraid of dogs, cats and cars. So out of respect for those people we don't talk about it with other people. [/QUOTE]
