We talk to kids about the dangers of fire, drugs, strangers, drowning, and more—but not about guns. There are hundreds of millions of firearms in the United States alone. We must talk with our children about guns and firearm safety to protect them and help prevent deaths and injuries. World champion professional shooter, firearms instructor, and mother Julie Golob helps you start this crucial conversation with her children’s book about gun safety. Toys, Tools, Guns & Rules helps parents break the ice with kids about this taboo topic by comparing firearms to other potentially dangerous adult tools. Colorful illustrations help guide children as they learn about firearms, how they work, and who uses them. It’s time to answer the questions and establish rules in your home and beyond. Gun safety is for everyone.

I love the challenge of trying new sports and divisions. It only makes me a better shooter and I hope, by sharing my passion, I help inspire someone else to give a shooting sport a try.”

Extremely beneficial in educating our youth about safety
I purchased three books, one for each granddude, and I couldn't be happier! The books help adults speak to children about tools (not JUST firearms) in a manner that both makes it interesting and understandable for them. The author is extremely experienced and respected in the gun community and, via her social media accotunts, has also allowed us to witness some of her experience as a parent and she has my respect there as well. Every grandchild or toddle that is is important to me will receive a copy of this from me. Thank you Julie!~ JJ

Julie has done an excellent job with this book and I could not recommend it more. I only wish it was around when my kids were growing up. That said, my grandbabies all have copies. This book not only covers safety when it comes to firearms but also touches on safety with anything that could be dangerous when it comes to curious children who may lack adult supervision. It teaches care, caution and responsibility in a fun, entertaining and relatable way.

Very straightforward and engaging approach to demystifying guns. I let my son read himself then we discussed. There are also super useful notes/talking points from the author at the end. A wise purchase for any parent!

Recently I had a scary experience with my son and a gun, which luckily turned out fine. But, the incident still plays through my head constantly and I want to share what I’ve learned in the hopes that your kid(s) stay safe.

Here’s what happened. We were at a friend’s house and a handful of kids were playing in another room. Since my son was the youngest I went in to make sure he wasn’t destroying the house. What I found was something much scarier…he was holding a handgun and pointing it right at me and the other kids in the room. I immediately ran toward him, grabbed the gun, pointed it away from everyone, and yelled for all the kids to get out. Still shaking, I put the gun on a high shelf while I ran to tell the owner through choked back tears what had happened.

At about 2 1/2 years old, my son thought he was playing with a cool new “tool” and didn’t know the incredible damage the gun could do to him, his mom or his friends. The gun was unloaded and the safety was on, but I realize how easily that incident could have turned out much, much worse with someone getting seriously injured or killed.

I’ve learned several things through this experience, 1) its never too early to teach about gun safety 2) we can’t watch our kids 24/7, so we need to prepare them to protect themselves and 3) kids will find and get into everything, so nothing is safe!

The image of my innocent little boy holding a firearm still scares the sh!t out of me and months later instantly brings tears to my eyes.

I don’t want this experience (or anything worse) to happen to anyone, which is why I sent copies of this book to my friends with small children. I reviewed several other options and this is the best for young kids and provides good discussion guides for parents. I encourage you to spread the love by sharing my story and/or sending a copy of this book to friends/family with small children.

My 5 year old remembers key points from this book after I read through it a few times to him in the course of a week. Everything is factual and simple. Great resource if you are concerned with guns in the home. Honestly this is a great book even if you don't have guns in the home because you don't know where your kid will come across them when staying with friends and family.

Fantastic book! My 3 children love it! Liberals will never understand this and would choke on their vanilla chai extra sugar latte from Starbucks if they read this. We can allow homosexual transgender books to be read in school but not this? What a shame. Every parent should buy their child this book as it's essential for chidlren. It really helps children understand and resolve curiosity revolving around guns which so many parents neglect to establish in their home. It teaches respect for guns and really thoroughly involves them in the book. My children love it!

Acquistato fortunatamente a zero cent, curioso di vedere come l'autrice (nota esperta di armi e tiro) avrebbe spiegato ai bambini alcune nozioni di sicurezza sulle armi da fuoco. Alla fine tutto si basa sul concetto che le armi sono "strumenti" che usano i grandi e come tali vanno trattati. Se i bimbi non devono giocare con il trapano di babbo o il computer della mamma non devano farlo neanche con le loro 9 mm. Ma va ?
