I thought I might bring this subject up because I have been running into it a lot with my kids freinds who come over. And last night when at my freinds for superbowel.
I find it easy to talk to my own kids about my political views and the reasons why I am open carrying plus they like it, and I bet most kids especially boys do, (Boys like guns) even when their parents are against firearms.
Last night a freind brought his 3 step kids over to our freinds house for super bowel and one of the kids ( I think his age was around 8) asked my buddy why I was carrying, he looked at me and said here you handle this. I jokingly said because its my right as an american, then asked the young one if some broke in and was going to hurt him or his family I would be able to stop that. He said thats what I thought and it was pretty much the end of that thread of discussion. Sometimes kids get simple laws and rules of life easier than adults. But this got me to thinking maybe I can get some better Ideas from folks here on good ways to explain things to kids. Especially since they get a lot of propaganda from school and t.v. and anti-parents.
My mother was a anti and when I was a kid I saw someone open carrying and asked her why and she said because this state allows it ( she said it like it was a dumb law) and that has made me want to do that since I was 6. Now here I am 32 yrs. later finally taking stand for what I believe in.
