So, how would you go about it?
What do you teach them?
What do you tell them to say when their friends ask them about it?

I really am interested in hearing opinions. I was told to start teaching them with an airsoft first, then work your way up from there.

Im starting with nerf guns. Then BB. Then I have a TC hotshot for 1st real one.
teach safety of course
Im going the hunting route with my boys. Teaching them a gun is a tool that they will use once they learn skill as a hunter/woodsman.  Until they have knowledge of the woods, they will be walking empty handed.

Started with airsoft for about 2 years. Transition to a .22 was easy from there.  He took a really long time to learn, but every kid is different.
