My wife got me a Vince Flynn novel for Christmas. It is titled The Third Option. It is my first novel of his and I was very impressed with a passage and wanted to share it. It is in reference to a CIA operative's six year old son. He was passing a football with the operatives security person. The child ask to see his gun. Here is Vince Flynn's response. "Harry resisted his natural instinct to say no. Harry was fifty-one and had learned the last thing you wanted to do with a young boy was to make something taboo. It only served to pique their curiosity. Harry showed him the gun, gave him a very stern lecture about safety, and let him touch it."
I realize this is fiction, but it still was nice to hear this instead of something along the lines of You have to be a highly trained law enforcement person to handle a firearm.
I have only read about 60 pages so far, but it is a very good book.
