When my kids could understand the American language I started their gun training. That was about 2 years old. No problem...

unacceptable ? are you kidding? That's how it should be for every kid, rather he/she ever chooses to hunt, shoot or to even own a gun as an adult. At least they have a choice, rather than be taught by some anti-gun activist that guns are evil. Good Job, and I taught my kids the same way, as I was taught.

I started my kids early on and my grand kids are going down the same road. When they are old enough for discipline: to be taught and understand, they are ready!!!!! i saw no problem with a two year old going duck hunting!!!

Yup...In fact my son started his daughter at 3. She will be 16 in January and will be with her dad hunting that week...Or was it Steelheading on the Snoqualmie River...

I want to thank you Bushmaster, vint2, glockman55 for your honest and intelligent comments. Excuse me for sounding shocked, but I honestly thought that I would get the usual respose, that being of the liberal type. But yes, my children were very properly disciplined and clear on what firearms represent. You guys honestly understand what good parenting is all about. How is it that society has forgotten so quickly about our roots as red blooded Americans? Most of us of this caliber are realistic, and not idealistic. Statistics show the evidense that where gun control has been implemented, the result of liberal thinking has been applied greatly, increased the violent crime in every city in the U.S.! England of course doesn't allow even an officer of the law to carry a firearm. And even though it has cleraly back fired, they continue to support that way of thinking. Did you know that in the state of California a person can't carry any means of self defense? Not even pepper spray! And if you have anything that can be percieved as a weapon, you will be arrested for being in pocession of a deadly weapon. Gentleman, it is only going to be a very short period of time before we lose 2nd amendment. Complacency has allowed it to reach this point in time. Too many people trusting the government and the media to make our choices for us.
That is a most beautiful picture you posted bushmaster.

This topic just reminded me of an incident I incurred a couple of years ago. I neighbor lady saw my Sons and I loading the truck to go hunting and started sharing her extremely liberal views regarding guns. Why do you own guns, we don't need guns, and so on. About a week or two later she was screaming at my front door for help because her husband was beating her. When I let her in the first thing she said was get your gun, he's going to kill me if he gets in, he was beating on my front door threatening to break it down. Although I understood her fear and emotions at the time, I still had to say" I thought we don't need guns, ever!". Its different when they are in a reality check, isn't it? The officer that showed up asked her if she owned a gun or has a dog, and if not she should probably think about getting one.

#1 Trust no body, especially the government because too many on the wrong people are lining the politicians pockets. I hate to say it but, this once great country needs a really rude awakening. Maybe then the anti's will shut thier mouths and open thier eyes.

#2 We as parents and grand parents alike need to re-educate our childeren. They are getting bombarded with all of the propaganda saying that guns are bad. It's not the guns that are bad, they're just a simple tool.
Like I've posted before, If someone really wants to kill another person they'll figure out a way to to it wether it's with a gun or even if they have to revert back to caveman days and use sticks and rocks.

#3 We as real Americans need to jump up and shout, THAT'S ENOUGH OF THE BULL$#!+. This country is going down the tubes and we're letting it happen. WE need to put a stop to it.

d_hoffman you are dead on and 100%!!!!

I used to frequent the chat rooms on AOL. I noticed that the "Gun Control" chat room pretty much died after the WTC attack on Sept. 11. Since that time I have noticed far fewer anti-gunners, although there will always be some deluded individuals who won't understand the truths of gun ownership, etc.

Thanks,Dimitri!! I don't know what I did wrong to get all the pics, but am happy to finally get it posted!!!!

I think you may have added the same picture twice as attachments ... if you click edit on that post you may see 2 attachments one after the other in the attachment section and you can probably delete one.

Hey, I will give it a go and see what happens!!!
