You'll most likely enjoy yourselves.

I think everyone else has given you all the usual advice (although I usually phrase it as "don't point it at anything you don't want to put a hole through."

Oh, and remember that you are on the SAFE end. For some reason, a lot of people worry about that.

Hopefully they will give you experience with a variety of weapons, both revolvers and semiautomatics.

You might also want to check to see if they will let you try a shotgun as well ... if you're not going to carry, it's actually a better weapon for home defense purposes.

Kids and firearms can coexist ... I'm not a big fan of trigger locks, but a lock box that opens with a push button combo can be a reasonable compromise.

Kids and guns can coexist in a household (I survived my own childhood and I even knew where the key to the gun cabinet was stored AND where the ammo was kept ... course I wasn't spoasta ... )

Send them to Eddie Eagle gun safety classes when they are old enough to comprehend.
