Paul (Seahawk) pretty well nailed it. My kids all shot for the first time at about 5 with a small single shot .22LR rifle that I bought specifically for the purpose. My boys and I still shoot regularly, my daughter has shot but is largely indifferent. My kids know guns well, are safe and proficient, and there is zero novelty to them. I am a firm believer that exposure and education eliminates the novelty.
With all of that said....my guns are all locked up. I would never leave a gun unlocked where a kid (or thief) could reach it.
