And as safe as the person teaching and overseeing their use.Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04775073594938909298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114877411975379535.post-81914471887524958612012-11-25T16:47:00.230-06:002012-11-25T16:47:00.230-06:00Thanks Blue.

It was unloaded, of course, but heavier than hell (when I was 5 or 6:). When we were done hunting we would go off to the side of the field and shoot tin cans with the .22. When we got home I'd clean it and oil it and put it away. It always stood in the closet next to his 12 gauge. I have 5 younger brothers and sisters and none of us would have thought of touching those guns. We knew they weren't toys. On Saturday nights when I stayed with my Grandparents, cleaning that gun became a ritual for me, always in my Grandpa's presence. <br /><br />We take Little Miss to the range with us. We teach her safety. We let her sit in either her dad's lap or my lap and shoot.<br /><br />I just bought her a BB gun for Christmas. If that goes well, which I believe it will, I will buy her a single shot bolt action .22 for her birthday in October. <br /><br />Perhaps someday she will have the gun my Grandpa gave me.<br /><br />I think the key is to teach them that guns aren't toys. Teach them the 4 rules of gun safety. Teach them to respect guns, not to fear them. Take them plinking. Let them clean them. Most of all, talk to them. Show them what they are capable of.<br /><br />It's time spent with the grand daughter. What could be better? :)Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04775073594938909298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114877411975379535.post-33231878480968233982012-11-25T14:40:02.881-06:002012-11-25T14:40:02.881-06:00That is awesome!
