Or is it only if the child steals your gun and uses it against another person?

And I'm not talking the spirit of the law but the actual wording of the law.

I honestly don't know and just trying to figure out where the NRA might be coming from (can't read the article, BTW, won't load on my work PC)

I'd imagine they would work a line in that would exclude training or target shooting but would still hold the adult responsible for what the child did with the gun at that time.

I might be allowed to take my son to a gun range for target practice but if he suddenly turns and starts firing at other people that would be on me make sure it doesn't happen.
