Yep Safty first with the youngins' , When I bought my first Pistol in 1984 (a Colt .22 Diamondback) I kept it at my parents house and when I left it with my Mom the first time I took all my younger siblings down to the gully and we shot some pop cans. Told them 1.The bullets go away from us, 2. Bullets destroy stuff, 3. Don't point it anything they didn't want to die are break.4 Keep your fingers off the trigger tell you want to do the first three. Then we shot a box pf .22 shells and none of the little ones after that afternoon ever went into Moms bedroom and bothered the gun for the next 16 years (it was just lying in her dresser drawer loaded). Education works with kids pretty good when folks take the time to take the Mystic off guns and other stuff
