Remove all mystery about guns as soon as the kids are old enough to understand. Let them handle empty guns and instruct them how they work. Teach them to only point a gun at something they intend to shoot and that they can't call it back if they make a mistake. Take them to a range to actually see what a gun does. As soon as they are trustworthy let them shoot with you at the range. Also teach them that if they find a gun laying somewhere to tell an adult immediately. This method worked well with my kids and grandkids. Alot of the antigun crowd endanger their kids by making guns a mystery, nothing is more attractive to a kid.
BTW Harbor Freight gas a neat and cheap little safe with a keypad that disables itself after 3 wrong entry codes. It has room for several handguns and runs about $40.
