Firearms aren't the only dangers to be concerned about when it comes to gun safety. BB guns and pellet guns can also put your children at serious risk. Therefore, if you let them use these weapons, it is essential that you make sure they follow child gun safety practices on all occasions. Teach your children that these guns are not toys and can injure or even kill someone. Make sure your child never keeps the weapon loaded, and always have him or her point it away from people before squeezing the trigger. Further, stress the real danger of aiming at a hard surface, flat surface or water, all of which can cause the bullet to ricochet back at the shooter. Finally, remind your child not to reuse old pellets or BBs, as this can add to the danger. For more gun safety tips, sign up your child for a gun class at a local shooting range.
