A kid and a .22

Had this exact conversation on Saturday with a firearms instructor at a State Range. We were talking about young folks and he allowed as to how he had thrown a golf club once in his life, the next hole, his son threw his golf club, after a bad shot. The instructor stopped right there and explained how he was wrong and the son was not to repeat the action again.

When the young student is tought well, they will start telling you about the infractions they see, sure enough.

My grandsons parents have always been inconsistant when it comes to discipline.....anyway, the past year we have been telling him (and getting it into his moms head, too) that you should only need to be told once! And I've been telling him about firearms saftey-he is not even supposed to point a toy gun at a person.

so, next month when he gets his BB gun for his 9 th b-day, he is going to be told that you do everything as we say, when we say because this is a gun...and you know the rest of the story-safety is paramount.

Thats a good idea to get into a kids head. Smile

Only execption is if you play paintball IMO. I play it abit, I'm not the greatest I'd admit. I dont play "speed ball" as I dont see the point of shooting 400-600 rounds in 5 minutes without aim just because its "cool". wtf

I do play capture the flag etc in the bush though. Smile

And I dont run around in the open like most "Rambo" players do. Laughing

Its sorta fun, but because its so much the opposite of gun safety I dont play it much makes me feel "weird". Confused
