I think you guys are definitely taking the right steps to ensure ur kids don't get a hold of firearms. It has always been my primary concern, and it is one of the few reasons why I don't own a gun. My grandfather took advantage of my quick reflexes when I was in HS and enrolled me in a number of self-defense and hand-to-hand combat courses. Mostly mixed martial arts. But most of what I know is only defensive counter attacks. When I was at Duke for a couple semesters, a guy pretty much taught me everything I know about shooting a bow and arrow. When I got back to Raleigh, I bought a compound bow - and kept up with my targeting.
