An unloaded gun is just a poor club, and a locked up gun is completely useless. I don't teach my kids to unload guns, I teach them to treat every gun as if it is loaded, and it damned well better be loaded, if you want it for anything more than eye candy. I never know a gun is empty, I always know it's loaded, even if it isn't.

To each his own. I went ahead and had my 10 year old daughter clear her rifle before casing it on the ATV for the trip back to the truck when done hunting.
I don't recall leaving a round in her crickett after range sessions either.....maybe I should have because it sure would make a sorry club given its small size.

I don't see kids needing to armed for self defense, so no they don't need to carry loaded unless they are hunting. Target range shooting is totally different as well. Kids don't always do what you want them to do, and unless your planning on keeping an eye on them at all times, they need to carry unloaded. And you can reenforce that all guns need to be considered loaded, even if it isn't
