I've been trying to get my 6 year old daughter interested. She says she is, but I don't see it much in her actions. I finally asked her the other day if she wanted to learn, or only expressed interest because she knew I wanted her to be interested. She said she really was interested, but maybe we should wait a couple more years. I personally think that was a very adult evalutaion of the situation from her and I'm extremely proud!!

(As for guns, I plan on making her take an intro to firearms class. She doesn't have to have another thing to do with them her whole life, but I want her to know how to handle them in case her and/or her friends happen across one. At the minimum I want her to know how to clear it and put the safety on, or to leave the area if her friends won't let her do that!)
