My grand dad was super strict too. Not just about guns either!
There are certain particularly dangerous things a youngster can do that has to get a very strong correction. The kind they remember above almost all other punishments. (Not saying hitting a kid is a good idea, just calling for a huge impression) Guns, cars (ever heard of a kid starting a car to a bad end?) the chemical/poison cabinet, fireā¦. Just because these things are flat out deadly in accidents.
