-Don't touch it.

-Leave the area.
When we were looking at houses last year, he stumbled on an M1 Garand in an unlocked closet. I was right behind him and couldn't see into the closet. I saw him open the door, his eyes got big, and he backed out of the closet and yelled: "Daddy, there's a gun in there!" I told him "good job" and gave him a huge hug. The whole rest of the day I made a point out of praising him for listening to daddy and doing the right thing.

Major props for teaching your son the correct procedures when encountering a firearm.
If adults that have not been exposed to firearms adopted a similar process, there would be less accidental discharges today...
