Of course, the first version of that will be "do not ever touch these" and progress from there as they age. It is hard to judge how to progress from there, because it is so specific to the child. I have owned a firearm since birth and can't remember a time before I was plinking with a .22, but that's not going to be the same for everyone.

That was pretty much how it went. 

They were locked up for a long time.  Now that she's matured enough, there is one gun that's not locked up for emergencies that she has access to if need be.
