My5 year old's first gun

[RickOKC]

Cool! I was a bit older and I'm happy I had the opportunity for my father & I to share an interest. Great memories.

Dad's (and a brother-in-law's) constant training left me with the ultimate in respect and caution for their capabilities. In our house the guns were never locked up and I knew where they were. Not in a billion years would I have ever considered even looking at them without permission.

I see some messages indicating that people don't understand that, but when educated properly you wind up thinking of a gun in the way same as any other tool. The end result is that you don't have a kid running around treating a gun (or a socket set) like a toy.

That is how I was as a kid. We live in town now, so we keep it locked up because of other children(that may not be taught about weapons). I have a CO2 pellet pistol that I started him with last year. He doesn't even care about it. We have three rules that both boys have memorized:
1.Never point at people
2.Never point at the dogs(they were obsessed with shooting the dogs early on)
3.If you find a gun out of the case, don't touch it and tell mom or dad

Firearms are fine, just make sure keep the kids away from the water nozzles.

I was in shooting sports at his age. I wish I had the opportunity to have a shooting team at my school at a varsity level like my dad did. Terrible that some people can ruin things like that.

I think I remember my first time shooting a gun. I can't remeber exact age, I just know me and dad were dove hunting and he let me shoot his 12 gauge into a hay bail to see how it felt. That damn gun left a bruise on my arm from the shoulder to the elbow!!! After that I got his hand me down 270 rifle for deer hunting. It is still a nice gun.

And now I have a couple of my own. But I will never forget shooting that damn shot gun, and trying not to cry in front of him! IT HURT!!!
