I'm only 34, with two daughters aged 6 and 4, and a 14-month old son. My wife is not a shooter or hunter, but fully supports my sport, and is not against guns or hunting per se in any way, as long as everything is done ethically and responsibly. No handguns in the house, however, and that's OK, just long guns for me. So I have no problems when it comes to support, and I intend to raise my kids with the proper respect and attention to be given to firearms and hunting, that if they so choose to become shooters or hunters, they can have my guns when I die. If I die before my kids mature, however, my wife agreed to make arrangements to give my guns to my cousin (who is an amazing hunter and shooter, and perhaps should be a professional in the sports instead of a math teacher) because she won't want the guns in the house when I'm gone. But my kids can have them if they want if I'm still aroud when they become aults (and I intend to be around), if they want them. If they don't, then I'll figure somegiung else out, and makle sure that the guns be given a proper disposition.
Very good thread.
