Never point it at anything other that the target. Never put your finger on the trigger until you are going to shoot." Then with Daddy's help the kids would target practice.It was serious,that is just how our family does it, my brother likes to go target shooting.Helmet Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04657270712206097668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-78847964628437611532013-02-12T09:11:09.300-08:002013-02-12T09:11:09.300-08:00You're a good mama.

The viruses seem to have won this winter, certainly around here and apparently on FB, though it's my first winter there so maybe the endless fevers, coughs, and ER visits are the norm in one's newsfeed in January. <br />2- One of the (many, many) reasons I decided not to be a cop was that despite much training, I was terrified of the gun on my hip. <br />3 - My great-grandfather used to take my dad hunting when he was young. My dad said the most effective lesson in gun safety he was ever given was when his grandfather shot a log with a shot gun. It exploded and made quite the impression. Just a thought. krlrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14392064691347464660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-49917490316446028672013-02-11T13:46:00.053-08:002013-02-11T13:46:00.053-08:00will wonders never cease?

And I'm also pleased that neither of my children is even remotely interested in guns or shooting so I don't have to contend with the decision of whether or not to indulge it. I suspect your measured, thoughtful approach will prove to be the right one in your family's case.<br /><br />kariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150537989886423212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-41847911893420751972013-02-11T09:47:47.700-08:002013-02-11T09:47:47.700-08:00Yeah, I think the shooting range thing is fine.

Through my years as an actor, I have played a gun-toting murderer quite a few times (not sure what this says about me), and have gone to a shooting range for training, and the seriousness and extreme safety precautions they take actually made me MORE fearful of guns, and less likely to want one around! When you shoot one at a range, it's VERY clear that it is not a toy, but a deadly weapon. It's probably a good thing.gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952840544630534206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-8330760311080866982013-02-10T22:51:48.749-08:002013-02-10T22:51:48.749-08:00As a kid, I shot targets with BB guns in summer ca...As a kid, I shot targets with BB guns in summer camp. I don't think that kind of shooting does any harm. It's good for kids to know what's being discussed when they hear about shooting and gun control and that kind of thing. I think a better predictor of gun preoccupation (the unhealthy kind) is whether guns are part of the culture of your home and neighborhood -- and in your case, they're obviously not.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-54052909457526765122013-02-10T19:00:09.559-08:002013-02-10T19:00:09.559-08:00Whatever it takes, baby.
