I have a Stack On. It doesn't do well with rifles with pistol grips like the AK and AR. I ended up getting a large safe for the guns and I built shelving for the Stack On and that's where I store my powder and chemicals. Works great for that.

It was his first time getting it, and I used to count (and then smack him on three) but he's just learning to count, so he'll stop whatever he's doing and count with me. Kinda defeats the purpose.
He's not even two yet.

No, because he's not stopping because I say so, he's stopping because he hears counting and wants to count too. If it's a safety thing, then it's good that he stops no matter why, but for teaching discipline, he thinks he stopping so we can play counting.

Best thing to do is let them play with it UNLOADED while you are around with them. Let them know it and teach them what it does.. the ones that have no idea are usually the ones that have problems. Teaching safety is much better than hiding everything. SOMETIMES you have to. Some kids just refuse to listen, no matter what. I grew up with SKS's AUG's SSweepers around unloaded/loaded on the table and all that. I never touched them. Being as young as I was..knowing what they did made me not wanna touch them unless I was told it was ok by the boss (dad). All kids are curious..once you give them that to a point, things go smoothly. I have never been one to wanna put my guns in a safe, unless I am not home. Anyone that comes over knows and children that come over usually know not to touch. If not, then they get put away. To me guns are like car keys to children. May sound wierd, but think about it. You wouldnt lock your keys in a safe.
