If you can shoot peas with an M44, salud!

Will
My nephew turns 2 next month. I originally suggested a BB gun, then a pocketknife. Both got shot down. The wife's thinking about a pop-gun. I can't think of a worse suggestion. I suppose I have to wait a bit longer.

Criminals, irresponsible people, and gun control propaganda are really wreaking havok on gun owners. Hell, my own wife doesn't even like the fact that I OWN guns anymore, much less want to carry them. She's been bombarded by anti-gun propaganda based on child safety. I can see this causing problems in the future for us. I can't hide them from the child forever. They have to be used and cleaned sometime.

For the record, they are locked in a steel cabinet in the bedroom closet and I carry the only two keys to it on my keyring. I keep the Glock loaded and holstered on the top shelf for quick access in an emergency. Maybe I should keep it unloaded now that the boy is turning 5, just in case. I'll just keep the mag next to it.
Could not be more agreed, Ken. Say, for that Glock, what about a trigger guard? Or would that defeat the purpose as well? And how do you like the grips on those Glocks? I like them a lot, and find them more comfortable in my huge paws than, say, a 1911. I'm hesitant, however, because my wife's hands are small.
