I've been shooting. My dad taught be responsible gun ownership as soon as I was old enough to get in trouble with a gun. At first it was the obvious 'don't touch it, tell an adult if you find it' stuff. Since he was a cop at the time, we of course had several weapons of every type in the house. When I got older, he told me how to property hold the gun (don't point it at anyone, always assume its loaded). I do shoot at the range, and my dad does hunt (but he always seems to pick the worse spots).
I'm okay with gun laws--because there are a LOT of people that don't need firearms. Let the people that can't handle a weapon filter out of the process. I'm okay with people carrying concelled weapons. Assuming they have the license (you have to take a class...pay a fee...show you're responsible).
