get rid of the 'forbidden fruit' factor

Yep. When my boys were toddlers, I told them that they were not to handle the
guns alone, but any time they wanted to, all they had to do was ask, and I
would get the guns out of the cabinet -- one at a time -- and we would look at
them *together*. About once a year, they'd ask. And I'd put down whatever I
was doing, open the gun cabinet, and show them the guns. They're both safe and
responsible hunters now, at ages 22 and 18.
