Unlike probably many of you guys, I was not raised around guns. Over the past few years, I've purchased a shotgun for the occasional sporting clays outing or when asked to go turkey hunting and obtained my CCW permit and purchased an HK USP Compact to go with it. Just recently I purchased a Bushmaster XM-15 M4 and hope to add a 50 cal. rifle next. As it comes to gun safety, I've essentially learned from watching my more experienced friends.

The question I have is, when and how should I introduce my kids to guns and, specifically, gun safety? My kids are 5 and under, so it hasn't been an issue quite yet but it is on the horizon. Also, how do you guys with kids store your weapons?

Thanks.

P.S. Sorry if my boner in the avatar is distracting. Most of my posting is in the sex-related forums, where the avatar is a bit more appropriate.
