You know, I grew up with squirt guns, water squirt guns. And there was a morph, I guess, in thinking that... And by the way, we never thought anything about it. We thought it was just fun. But... Going forward, there was like a change of attitude where in some families, they don't allow any kind of toy guns at all. And so it's like, you know,

thinking has kind of gone forward in line with what's going on in the true dangerous aspects of firearm safety.

Right. And then, you know, then it always brings up the, you know, the point of what's overkill, you know, no pun intended there, but you know what I mean? What's overkill? It's like, okay, should a kid not be able to play with a Nerf gun under proper supervision. Okay, so those are where the kind of the angst come into play. But there are certainly things that have changed.

over the years as, as it relates to safety and its relationship to firearm safety. So let's talk about other things like, you know, like grab bars. Like I'll, I'll, I'll be the first to admit in my home, we don't have grab bars in the, in our, in our showers. Okay. And it's like, wow. You know, it's like I go in and I take a shower. It's kind of like, OK, I'm OK.

You know, it's not that I don't even think about it, but I should. I really should. And, you know, and at what point do you do something? Well, do you wait until, you know, God forbid somebody falls or has an accident or whatever, and then you do it? The answer is no, you shouldn't do that. You should be more proactive. So that's a message to everybody. Be more proactive.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's talk about car safety. All right. So again, you know, remember the day when there were no seatbelts in cars. Okay. There are no childish strength. There are, there were no sophisticated safety components in cars. Okay. So I'm going to put a plug in right now. So I, I got about six months ago, I took the senior driver's ed class. Okay.

And yes, you know, my first thought is, Oh God, you know, it's like, What don't I know already? Well, it's really interesting because they go over all these new safety features on cars that you really should take advantage of. in order for you to be safer when you are driving.

And so I recommend to anybody who's at that age to go ahead, take these courses, because it'll be kind of an aha moment for you on things that'll help for you to be safer when you drive. Also seat belts, it took, oh my goodness. First of all, it took us, a long time to get seatbelts legislated. And what came before seatbelts was child restraint seats.

And then it led into safety, you know, seatbelt laws around the country. So anyway, all right, thoughts on all of that, car safety.
