No criticisms intended, just curious...and no, I'm not casing the house either.

As a joke, Ill answer your question with this , even though I own a Beretta and not a Glock.

R. Lee Ermy is always great. Here's an old one in a similar vein from our very own Utah.

Aha, didn't realise they made them that small. Handy, literally.
And, of course, good old Hickok has a vid on it too:

Good to see that this has been thought of, tbh, things like this should be provided with firearms purchases although no amount of safety provided to people for free or otherwise is going to stop those who are determined to be dumb.

Who is more infantile in that shooting incident with the 5 year old? The child - or the adults?

Anyhow, if adults are clever enough to give a 4 year old (he got the rifle one year before, I read in German articles) a functional rifle as a present, then they should also agree to now throw the full weight of the law onto the boy and lock him away for the coming decades. I mean if a 12 year old some years ago got lifelong for having stolen something to eat for the third time, then this 5 year old monster really should be made regretting what he did as well, don't you think?

Selling toy packages "My first rifle" for children rifles dedicated to kids. That is pathological, and mentally disturbed.

Let them come of age, and then , when they are ripe by mind and character, train them with the real things, where one considers that to be necessary.

This story again illustrates this insane fetish that weapons serve as in American culture. Where the sober mindset that sees them as a tool designed for very specialized purposes exclusively is missing, selling weapons should be forbidden. Churches give bibles away for free or at very low subsidized prices over here. I would not be surprised if somebody some day tells me that the NRA also runs projects like that, and gives away firearms for kids for free, or at subsidized, very low prices.

I remembered seeing the beginning of that one before sometime in the past, but I didn't remember how it ended, and i wasn't expecting the ending. Thanks for a great laugh. That was hilarious.

Yeah there's quite a few of those smaller hand safes on the market. Some work by scanning and remembering your fingerprint others by a combo.

Yeah Hickok makes some good videos. Of all the makers of gun vids on youtube, Hickok is the most down to earth. He used to be a sheriff's reserve deputy i believe.

What is included in ALL firearm purchases is a California gun lock, regardless if the gun was purchased in California or not. Looks something like this:

In long guns, it's used to lock the breech open so the firearm in question can't be cycled. They aren't meant as a safety device so much as a means of legal transport, the idea being to make it so the firearm cannot be readily used. These locks are cheap, and aren't really much more then an annoyance if you have to use them, although they will keep the firearm inert to small children, and i did lock up all my firearms with this lock for grins and giggles before getting a safe. But it won't stop any child old enough to know what a set of bolt cutters is for.

Yeah, I've used one. Can't say I was impressed. They're really more of a concealed carry pistol. I went to the range with my brother in law, a die hard James bond fan, and we rented one. He kept calling it "The James bond gun", and was all too terribly excited to shoot it. Sad to say, he wasn't impressed either, actually, he was disappointed. After all the movie hype, he expected more.

Nice!

EDIT:

As to the recent news of the 5 year old accidently shooting his 2 year old sister, I have to agree that the kid was ENTIRELY too young for a .22 rifle. My father started me out with a BB gun, at age 9 or so. I didn't even touch a .22 until after I had learned with a bb gun.
