An 8 year old girl is stabbed to death in her home while her 12 year old brother calls 911. There is no reason, IMO, that a 12 yo boy should not have been able to handle a firearm. Neither of my girls (13 and 16) walk out of the house without one, and both know what situations to use them.

To top the days top stories off, we have a**hat Manchin STILL pushing for more gun control. This guy is an absolute moron, and is absolutely lying through his teeth concerning back-round checks. He is just trying to keep screwing with law-abiding citizens. If all of these politicians do not like OUR Constitution, why don't they emigrate to a socialist nation of their liking?

From the above, it would appear that as long as he meant that they leave the house but remain on his property, they are covered under IC 35-47-10-1(6) and (7).

There may be some other exemption of which I am unaware for those under the age of 18. I would be pleased to learn of it.

OP, if there is no exemption under the law for the behavior you describe, I would strongly urge you to rethink your actions (and theirs) and edit your post accordingly. Your job as Dad is to protect them, and that's hard to do from a jail cell. Even only one count would be a class C felony, which is 2-8 yrs with an advisory sentence of 4 yrs. Even the minimum sentence is 2 yrs, meaning you'd be out in one, but a year is a long time away from your kids, and as a felon, your guns are gone, too.
