I think it is great. He is totally supervised and his Dad has both hands on the gun the whole time. Awww that's cute. He even gave the kid ear protection.

Stats show that kids that grew up participating in shooting sports with their fathers do better in life than avg. They get better educations, better jobs, better relationships, less involvement in crime, etc.

Now this is not specific to Shooting sports, it's more about the time spent with their father/family than it is about the specific thing they are doing. It could be fishing, baseball, chorus, etc which are also things those same fathers that teach their kids to shoot do with their families.

The fact is that 2 things are more likely to happen if that father continues this with his son.

1.) The boy will grow up knowing about the dangers and safe handling of firearms so he will be less likely to have an accident with one, or mess with one out of curiosity.

2.) He will do better in life than kids that grow up without "That Kind" of interaction with their father.

I'll stick with my .22 target rifle (12 lbs empty) and my 20-ga side-by-side-by, thanks all the same. That collection is too frikkin "survivalist" for my taste.

So, you don't have a taste for surviving?

Oh SHit! Now you've done it, guns and killing your own dinner in one thread?

I'll get the beer if you bring the snacks, this could be a long night.

Surviving WHAT?!? Life? Yeah, bnut I don't have to shoot anyone to do that. Surviving nuclear holocaust? Rather be right under the first one, thanks. Private armies with machine guns ... Sorry - don't want to tread on anyone's toes here

Nah, count me out of the "shoot to survive" crowd. Nothing personal, but I seriously doubt anyone will have to in this country.

I'm guessing that little hurricane thing in NOLA didn't get any air time on your local news.

HTM Yaris · 05-26-2007, 03:33 PM

Yeah , I remember when Hurricane Hugo came through SC in 89 . Things got real PRIMITIVE .No electricity for weeks. I was one of the few and smart who installed a manual pump for my wells . Peeps were lined up for miles and weeks to get fresh clean water from me . I didn't charge anybody a penny .
The Audibon Society offered to pay all my property taxes until I die . Which means I could retire right now to my 60 Ac farm and live off the land . But I love cars and guitars and will deal with the world for now .

Next time I can beat a hurricane with a rifle, I'll be sure to give you a call. Luckily, we don't have levees to break up here, we are all above sealevel to start with.

Hey MudBug, You do not have nearly enough SBR's, or Cans! When you make it to the East Coast come and play with belt fire toys. So, air cooled, or water cooled veterans peak your interest?

I've shot them, AZ is filled with private owners and groups like Damage LLC

That I can get a chance to shoot almost anything I could want.

Also, if you watched the Contractor training vid you can see an M60 that is owned by a friend of mine that I get to shoot fairly often.
