When I was younger, my grandfather took me out to the desert and taught me how to shoot. He instilled in me a few rules that I carry to me to this day, rule one was never point a loaded weapon at anything other than the ground or whatever it is you're intending to shoot, and the another rule was to never point a loaded weapon at another person. I have not had to break those rules yet in my life, but feel fully prepared to do so if the need arises.
The only time i have pointed a loaded weapon at anyone was paintballing, but that really dosen't count. It dosen't carry any of the consequenses of actually being able to take a person's life with your weapon.
I would reccomend that all parents familiarize their kids with weapons at an appropriate age, and more importantly, instill in those kids a respect for the weapons. I garuntee, any kid who already knows his way around a weapon and has been taught respect for that weapon isn't gonna mess around and "accidentally" hurt someone else out of curiosity.
