Don’t chamber the bullet.
When your child is like 4 or 5 take them to the shooting range and show them how danger it is. They will freak out by how louds it is. Then when they are 6 and 7 take them back to the range and show them how to safely use a gun and talk about why you have them and set up safety protocols
Then take your 2-3year old child to the range with your biggest gun and scare the shit out of them.
Age is a bit arbitrary in my example as some kids are smarter and more curious at a younger age. So if they are curious take them out put some earpeote room on them and have them stand next to you as you shoot,
Tell them
These are very very dangerous and you should never touch them and then shoot a few rounds off and repeat the danger speech.
Also there’s no reason to keep a bullet chambered and a kid that young wouldn’t have the strength to chamber a bullet so that’s an additional safe guard
I really don't think there is any possible way a 3 year old child could chamber anything from .380- up. Probably not even any chance of .22. If you are still concerned about it (always good to worry about the 0.000001% probably when it comes to lives)just keep it on you at all times if it's not locked up. Good idea to have it on you at all times anyway.
I will have to disagree. My advice is how I learned about gun safety.
Also scaring a child age 4 by shooting a loud gun does NOT create a liberal. Shooting a gun to scare them is no different than yelling at them when they touch a hot stove, does that make them a liberal? No.
It’s a silly argument. When they are young it’s important to instil fear on things they don’t understand like guns and plug ins.
Then when they are a few years older you sit down and explain why you did what you did and show them how to shoot.

What about when your child is around 2-3 and VERY curious and mischievous?

Keep it out of reach. If you can't, unchamber the round when you set it down.

Well said.

I feel this is very bad advice.
Making your kids scared of guns is going to create anti-gunners.
I was raised familiar with them, and told we could see them if my dad is around but not allowed to touch them on our own.
We were shown they kill, but going shooting was fun.
Don't raise wussy liberal children.

That’s literally what my advice is.
