My 5 yr old climbed up on a chair and assembled my ex's shotgun
and almost had it all together, assembled, when I found him!! It's very odd that he even KNEW the shotgun was on the top shelf of my closet, as I had hidden it there when the kids were asleep BUT he found it!! YIKES!! I had the shotgun ammo stashed in another place, away from the disassembled shotgun. How he knew it was there, is beyond me but I'm sooo glad I caught the mischievous and curious child in time!! THAT could have been a real disaster

1. Your 5 year old can assemble a shotgun?
Hell, I'm 58 and I still have trouble putting my shotgun back together after cleaning it. Your kid must be a genius.

5. Why do you think that's unusual? 5 yr olds are smart and very curious.
Maybe you didn't know that. They're not all dummies.
:-) That's funny. BTW. Your tall tale is equal to one single solitary bounce only because of the dummy line. (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/tucker13/special/79477e3a.gif)
It now appears that this is a 20+ year old bouncy. :mental:
Then a CATFIGHT

17. What? You think I said it outloud, in front of him, "by accident"?
That NEVER happened. I lived alone, worked full time and they went to day care and pre-school all day long. It was just me and the 2 kids and I was very careful what I did and didn't say in front of them. I was living alone when that happened and I know I wasn't having a discussion about hiding weapons BY MYSELF, TO MYSELF!!! It was a real mystery. Period. If you think I'm lying, then you're the loser.

18. You should check your blood pressure.
You certainly inferred a lot from my one-word post.

22. Yip, I reckon I am.
BTW, name-calling is against the rules.
Hope this helps.

I'm sure that, other than this one instance, you were a wonderful parent.
Patient, eloquent, and understanding.

31. Hey, I'd rather be called "babe" than that foul language you
were using up-thread (since deleted).
I think it's a good thing that a person with anger control issues no longer has a shotgun in the house.

Oh my.
That's a hilarious bonfire.
I frankly suggest others get out their boats and row over to Skins's island to see it.

By disassembled the DUmbass probably meant that it was opened up to put shells in quickly. DUmmies and guns are just a suicide waiting to happen.

**** you Airhead primitive. If that child had managed to do something catastrophic, it would have been entirely because of you and your fear of guns that it turned out catastrophic.
In my home, I keep a loaded pistol in a drawer exactly beneath my pillow - when it's not on my person. I also have a 4 1/2 year old. Wanna know something? He doesn't go looking for it, because I make a point of not treating it as "Forbidden Fruit" with him. He is allowed in my bedroom when I'm putting it away every night, and has been taught that if he sees the pistol with the slide closed or a magazine in the well, he is to not touch it and come find his mommy or myself (if we aren't in the room with him - exceptionally rare when I'm putting the pistol away) and tell us specifically, "Mommy/Daddy, the pistol has "owies" in it." We then congratulate him for doing the right thing and reward him. When the slide is open on an empty chamber, and there is no magazine in the well, he has also been told that he can ask if he can handle the pistol in that condition. Usually the answer is "yes", and his little 4-year old curiosity is satisfied. As a result, he knows that there are guns in the house, but they don't call out for him to "explore" on his own. No forbidden fruit.

What an idiot. First of all, if it WAS disassemble, and the 5 yr old had enough time in her room alone to almost completely reassmeble it, she needs to monitor her kids a little more carefully. My kids dont go in my room without asking me first, ever.

I thought that was a given!
All of my guns are in my bedroom. My grandkids are'nt allowed in there ever! We are not stupid enough to leave them by themselves either!
By the way, their guns are in there too, but they know under penalty of PaPa's wrath to never touch them without my supervision. Seems to work just fine!
Idiot DUmbasses!

H5 for the Obama bouncy head.

Adbot once again has the final word on a 5 year old assembling a gun:

Wow!!
I had an employee like the breezy primitive one time, and once I figured out she was like that I ushered her so quickly out the door she probably still hasn't stopped moving from the swiftness of the momentum.

I don't understand why it bothered to post this. Why would it post something that happened 20+ years ago .... as if it happened yesterday? What is the point?

Yeah, he alternates between that and a M242 Bushmaster as his primary concealed carry weapon.

I keep my pistols locked up all the time and the key is with me. No kids getting into that case easily. We have a 3 year old and a 10 year old that might not know about the guns here but they are not going to get a chance to open a case to find out whats inside.As for what I have accesss to if I need it there is a perfectly good 30-06 here .

As another poster said, there is no way a five year old is going to "assemble" a shotgun.
For the sake of assumption, the Breezy primitive is talking about a single shot breach loading shotgun. In that case disassembled would be with the pivot pin removed. A five year old wouldn't have the strength to hold the barrel and stock to gether to assemble the weapon.
I keep a weapon in the home, my five year old daughter knows about it. It's called education. If the gun grabbers were telling the truth many of my friends would have been killed by gun related incidents in their parents homes.
