Exactly. Start them young.

But I'm seeing the reason he's asking is for one of those stupid nanny state laws.

What's next, mandatory chastity belts to prevent the spread of STDs?



Warrior, because I don't have sufficient safe space, I need trigger locks for storage. Also, while traveling, I won't store them in a locked vehicle, so required for legal storage also.
As mentioned above, many police officers don't know that trigger locks are not required during transport and I'd rather not get in the argument on the side of the road.
As for home, it's my wife's only rule since we had kids. Easy compromise. I've been drilling my kids since they were very young. They won't touch a firearm without my permission and they won't let another kid do it either.

Trigger locks are a fact of life for me


Just happy to be here.

This^^^ is how I was raised too.

The butt whoopin' you'd get if you messed with the guns would've been worse than getting shot....lol

Dang, sorry to hear.

Years ago I've been in Manitoba hunting and if it was required, I didn't have one so is this new regulations or by Province?

Sorry, I now see its not a requirement.

There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

What kinda ducks you get on st.clair ? Have wondered about that lake a while. I think it's in a different fly way then I am. I drove down there to pick up a camper once and the snow geese on the sides of the roads were unreal. We don't get snow geese where we are.

Mallard, gadwall, black, widgeon, gw teal, bw teal, ringneck, bluebell, canvasback, redhead, goldeneye, common merganser, hooded merganser, wood duck, pintail (few), Canada Goose, incidental snow/speck, shoveler, ruddy, incidental oldsquaw... Basically all of them LOL but the migration doesn't seem to hit full force until the season is over.


Just happy to be here.

A gun ain’t doing me no good locked up. Heck my wife has one in her purse at all times and wears a fanny pack on her evening walks with one in it. My kids had their own firearms in their own rooms with ammo since they were 8. They’ve always said clear and showed the weapon when entering a truck, when in a pit duck hunting, when exiting the swamp after a good Woodie shoot, and when cleaning. Guess things are a little different down South. They were hunting by themselves at 12. Birds, small game, or deer, they just went. They knew where and what they could shoot. They knew to load the weapon after climbing in the deer stand and once on the field or in the swamp. They knew to unload before exiting all of the above. My 2 year old Granddaughter knows exactly what a firearm is and that she’s NOT to touch it…she’s 2! It’s how I was raised and how I raised my boys, and now they’re raising their children the same way. We never “hid” guns from them and maybe that’s why there was never a fascination of “checking” one out. They were just there and if they wanted to hold it or know about it, they asked. They couldn’t hunt until they could field strip any weapon they were taking and know what to do incase of a malfunction.

Right or wrong, it worked for us.

Not sure I understand you Wanna Be. TSA does not require trigger locks on declared firearms in checked baggage. Maybe you are talking about the number of lock spaces on a hard sided case ? Usually they DO require a lock in each hole that is available. What am I misunderstanding ?
