Having a good time
Except for the 7 miles of forestry road in the mountain adventure today
OMG doesn't even begin to describe it. We came out alive. That's all I'm saying.
Guns are not TOYS
Der da der
Children that learn proper gun safety early on
And the rules
And see the power they have
Have no misconceptions about them
And he won't pick one up from curiousity because he already knows what it is and what it can do
He won't walk in someone's garage next door and pick up a gun and shoot himself just because he doesn't know what it does
A kid his age did that in our old town
He's dead now because he didn't know what it was and what it would do
It's great to get kids trained to use guns properly when they are young! Could save a life later down the road! (We've all heard of the kids who 'look' at their dad's cool guns when he's at work.)
Thats Great Lisa. My Dad was CHP for 30 years. I also learned at a very young age how to handle a gun, and proper gun saftey. I do think it is important, wether you own a gun in your home or not. You know never know what a friends may have, or parents may have, and teaching them the right things, could safe their or life, or someone elses.
Congrats to you!!
P.S
My grandfather did the samething to me with his 12 guage when I was 9. Respect was gained very quickly.
Exactly! I have a relative in the corrections field. He has a loaded gun in his home. I don't want the kids thinking it is a toy. I want them to know how dangerous it is so they or someone else doesn't end up dead!
My grandson, Tyler, who is 8, learned how to shoot a BB gun at Cub Scouts this past summer. You have to be 11 to use the 22. Sounds to me like you are right on schedule if the Scouts are doing it.
