As Christmas approaches, please be reminded that all children should be given extensive gun safety instruction well BEFORE they are given any unsupervised access to any “gun”.
During my long Medical career, I have seen all sorts of gun injuries. Indeed, I saw two different cases of preteen boys killed by “Red Ryder” type spring BB guns, and had a schoolmate permanently blinded by a BB gun.
Both of the boys were shot close-range in the left parasternal chest. Both were taken to Emergency Departments, where the significance of the injuries were seriously underestmated. Both were sent home and died of cardiac tamponade from atrial penetration blood leakage during the night.
My Family began instruction very early, with the first TOY guns, and enforced absolute safety, even with harmless playthings, to indoctrinate.
Please practice “Safety FIRST”.
