    Very early on, maybe 6 latest.  Growing up in a small Ranching/Ag Community right and wrong were always stressed and reinforced.  We were also taught about justified use of force.  County Sheriff always had a lecture every year at the beginning of the school.  Consequently we had a very low level of violence per se

    I don't know.  I probably learned it through Bible stories and memorizing the Ten Commandments at a very young age.
