I began firearms training of my sons at three. From the age of six they attended an educational program that availed them access to firearms at all times. There was one event that caused them to lock and load and take defensive positions, but the threat dematerialized, and no shots were fired.

Another time a helicopter with what appeared to be armed men in military garb in it hovered very close over the property (<50 feet), and when my sons grabbed firearms the helicopter immediately flew away and never came back.

The instructors at the school were all armed at all times, too. Homeschooling FTW.

Thanks!
