My kids are 6 and 4, and I'm going to start basic gun safety and eventual lessons/training soon for the older one. One aspect of educating my kids on firearms gives me pause "in this day and age". I want to make sure my kids are discreet with their new gun knowledge. With all the zero tolerance issues at schools, anti parents poking around, doctors, etc, what's the best way to teach him discretion? I don't want my kids to be singled out, ridiculed, or for that matter my door busted down if my kid says something imaginative to the wrong authoritarian figure.

To keep things less complicated, I'd think that I'd want tell them not to discuss it with others outside the family, and try to explain that there are a lot of people with fragile psyches out there that may get upset.

Does NES have any advice on this subject, how did you handle firearms discretion with your kids? What worked or didn't work?
