Re: Girls and Guns
 

Sorry. Not cute.
I got a big problem with kids under 10 years old handling guns.

I remember when I was a kid.
When adults were not around, all safety went out the window.

Re: Girls and Guns
 

It all seems so much natural primal screaming stuff ... I have flashbacks ... a mission ... waiting to go up the river to meet Col. Walter Kurtz ... heart of darkness ... hot chicks ... classic movies.

We create them ourselves. My wife never fired a gun before I met her.

Now she's got a better shot than I do.

Re: Girls and Guns
 

Oh that's just stupid. I've got a picture of my daugher in the turret of a B-17 when she was 5. Does that mean she's going to start WW3. I'll bet those kids know that those guns are never to be handled without an adult nearby. Unlike some little antigunners kid that wonders what the "mystery" is and ends up shooting themselves playing with the neighbors gun because no one taught them proper respect for firearms.

Re: Girls and Guns
 

I guess it is different for some people. I grew up with a shotgun in my parents closet with the shells on the shelf. I knew what it was and never touched it. Would go over to a friends house after school (both parents still at work). They had a clear glass cabinet with a dozen rifles and a couple of revolvers. We never touched them, even during the summer when we were bored to death and left alone all day long. We were taught not to touch them and we listened.

I took my brother skeet shooting when I was 20 and he was 10 (within your age requirement) and he had a blast and was a better shot than us that day with a Remington 1100.

I guess it depends on the child and the parents. I think it is all about parents talking to their kids about the dangers and safety. Too many people now days that do not even talk to their children.

So 10 years old is ok? What is the defining moment preparedness for you?

Re: Girls and Guns
 

Lured into a thread detour ... Who's got a problem? Going back far in my family it's always depended on the maturity of the individual and the sensibility of the specific situation. Sometimes we're just posing for pictures, see? Kids are not generally the same today but they might be ...

MY Dad got me a Stevens single barrel .410 on my 11th birthday. He considered me to be safe with conditions . Devil Anse was my great, great uncle ... this is my kin ... we generally shoot well when we shoot ... Say hello to my clan!

Re: Girls and Guns
 

I'm with you on that.

I don't have a problem with a 10 year learning how to shoot...nor do I have a problem with a 9 year old learning how to shoot.

Age is irrelevent. Maturity, physical strength and intelligence are what really matter.

I don't any particular age is "too young" to learn gun handling, shooting and safety.

Re: Girls and Guns
 

With respect to Mr. Caligula and his fear of 10 year olds with guns:
I first began teaching my son the art of the handgun at age 34 months.
By the end of his first day of instruction he was able to load, aim and fire a single action 22 revolver, with close supervision. He was made well aware at that time that handling any firearm required strict care and discipline with respect to where the muzzle was pointed.
Fast forward six years, toward the end of his 3rd grade school year, my son was ISSUED his first Colt automatic pistol, model of 1911. He was shown carefully how to load reduced power .45ACP ammunition with 5 grains unique under a 230 grain slug. He was taught to field strip HIS OWN .45, load ammunition and fire his pistol at age 8.
for the remainder of his 8th year, and until he was 12 he would compete in combat pistol matches with adults, not with his .45, but instead with a ruger MK11 .22 pistol, as he was unable to make fast double taps with his .45 ( he probably weighed 65 pounds).
Around age 12 he was big enough and strong enough to compete with the 1911, and in the ensuing years became quite skilled in the use of the .45
For his high school graduation, at age 17 I bought him a custom combat .45, and in competition, on a good day he is capable of double taps on four successive targets, UNDER 3 seconds, from a concealed draw. the Boy is FAST.
In my house ALL the guns are loaded.
First rule of gun safety ALL guns are loaded,
Keep finger out of trigger guard until sights are aligned on target.

Re: Girls and Guns
 

My first experience was when I was five...22 rifle under adult supervision. Later, me (age 8) and my older brother (10) were allowed to take grandpa's Stevens single shot 22 and dad's Remington 22 auto down to the pond to shoot snapping turtles...without adult supervision. I also remember shooting dad's Winchester 30-30 once about the same year, and as I recall, I didn't like it much.

By the way Koy, that's a distinguished looking family...and set o' shootin' irons. :ok:

Maybe see a few old-fashioned women and their guns? ... THANKS, I'm not trying to be special, rather glad to share our true American history! :ok:

What if they're in the Hitler Youth and needed to defend The Reich?

Re: Girls and Guns
 

I've got no problem with kids under 10 shooting. My sisters and I learned to shoot and were given our first guns (.22s) under the age of 10. My dad hadn't shot in years at that point, but he was of the opinion that it was a parent's duty to teach his children to shoot and to teach them the proper care and handling of guns. He bought us each our own guns so that we would learn to be responsible for cleaning and caring for our own guns.

The maturity of the child should, of course, be taken into account. Some 10-year-olds aren't responsible enough to own a gun. Some 40-year-olds aren't either! Until we were in high school, my father always kept the guns in his closet, and we were not to take them out without supervision. We knew not to show them to other kids or tell other kids where the guns were. He was appalled when people asked him why he didn't just get us BB guns. My father believed BB guns taught kids that guns are toys and taught them dangerous habits, and we were strictly forbidden to have anything to do with BB guns!

I'm exceedingly grateful that my dad taught us to shoot at a young age. Gun safety is second nature to me, but I've noticed that it's not with many of my friends who didn't learn to shoot until they were adults. Maybe it's just their natures, but I can't help but wonder if they had learned and had it constantly reinforced when they were kids if they might be better about it.

Re: Girls and Guns
 

I agree with you completely. I've seen little kids who can handle a .22 Long Rifle no problem.

However most kids today are just not prepared. I have 2 male cousins, aged 7 and 9. Their mom and dad have been sheltering them their whole lives, trying to control every aspect of how they develop. The kids even asked me, "I want to train with a sword!" and my response - you aren't ready, but if you're really serious, whenever you have to do something 100 times, do it 50 times with your left hand, and 50 times with your right hand. This, I considered to be an artful bait & switch, something that would satisfy their desire for training, make them a MUCH better person, and if they really did want to train with swords when they are more responsible (read: NOT necessarily older) then they'd be more ready. I actually got talked to by their mom and dad for suggesting that they attempt to become ambidextrous!

That was at the end of 2007. Since then, something has changed. They now have a set of airsoft guns: 2 pistols, 1 rifle that kind of looks like an AR, and one Shotgun.

Every bad habit I've ever seen in my LIFE, and some I didn't know existed, were demonstrated by these kids on Thanksgiving. They were shooting eachother, sweeping the crowd (i.e. turning 180 degrees from the firing line) and running onto the range (My aunt's grassy backyard) while the others were shooting!

Because their only experience, to date, with weapons has been through movies and video games, and because they haven't been treated like they could one day become responsible enough, they are now total jack-tards. When they get older, it's going to take a lot of BSing to break those habits.

If I had gotten to them when they were young, the older one would be ready to shoot a real rifle right now. But now I have to wait - a lot longer than I would have.

Re: Girls and Guns
 

YES! That fits in with my story exactaly!

Your dad was RIGHT!

Re: Girls and Guns
 

Kids with guns was not my intent, but as we have ventured into this field, let me tell you about my nephew.

He grew up on a ranch in west Texas until this summer, when his parents finally gave in and purchased a house in town, as well as keeping the ranch. They didn't want him and his sister driving the 30 miles from the ranch on highways that at certain times of the year have numerous deer on them. Especially at dawn and dusk, as those seem to be the most dangerous times. So the home they purchased was less than ten minutes from school, all on city streets. The two kids will be old enough to drive in 18 months and three years from now. Time flies when you are grown up and crawls when you are growing up...

But I digress. For his fourth birthday, I gave him - with his parents permission - a Cricket that I had refinished for him. It's a youth sized single shot .22 and before his sixth birthday, I got a call from him. He proudly announced he had gotten his first rabbit. His Dad and I talked and he was very pleased with his gun safety handling skills. Enough that his Dad told me to keep an eye out for a 30.06 bolt action rifle in a youth size.

Fast forward to this week. As he approaches his fourteenth birthday, he got two deer. One with his rifle (I can't remember the caliber) and the other with his bow and arrow. This was his first deer with his 'sticks' as I call them to his Dad. Dad got a really nice turkey with HIS sticks.

Gotta love growing up in the country, still getting a great education at school and growing up outdoors with all the toys that entails. The funny part is where they live, they literally can only get ONE TV channel and it's fairly fuzzy.

I offered to buy them satellite access. Or cable. Both parents agreed, and turned me down flat. Now they have moved into town, they might (MAYBE) get basic cable. OR NOT. They keep the kids busy enough that they don't actually miss it.

Of course, we purchased my parents a big screen TV (60") about six years ago and their house is the 'party house' for football games and other sporting events everyone in west Texas watches.

I keep telling my BIL that I will gladly set him up with a setup similar to mine (100" projection HD, 9.1 digital surround sound, etc) and so far have been turned down. Ah well, we all have our own desires and needs.

When it comes to firearms, it depends on the family, it depends on the parents, it depends on the kids themselves, and the environment they grow up in and how mature (or immature) they are.

NEVER, EVER assume that a 21 year old is mature enough to own a firearm. NEVER, EVER assume that a 6 year old is too immature to own a firearm.

And never, ever bait an old man, he might just be too tired and pissed off to fight with you and just kill you instead.

I'm just sayin...

Re: Girls and Guns
 

My pop taught me how to shoot and gun safety when I was seven. We used a .22 rifle and he had some sort of smaller pistol he taught me as well. Once I demonstrated that I understood proper gun care, handling and safety, the rifle was mine to use on the property or on hunting trips. I was also taken hunting and was not the puller but a spotter and had to help clean a buck. I didn't dig it too much. I hit a rabbit also under supervision and although we didn't dress it, I was held responsible and shown the consequences (death) to the animal, and had to help dispose of it. I don't hunt but I would if I needed to. Death is a necessary part of the cycle, but it must be respected and avoided unless there is a use for it.

Once I demonstrated trustworthiness with the rifle in my care for about a year, I was shown where the pistol was stored and how to get to it in the event of an emergency, and what such an emergency might be. I haven't ever shot anyone or discharged a round that was not intended. What I think is wrong is the use of toy guns that make kids think there are not consequences to guns or their use, meanwhile the Teevee puts them in your face every night. Kids get some mixed messages when they are playing with fully automatic toy guns and seeing the same on teevee. It's kind of funny why we have all this on the teevee and our kids toys we cannot have fully automatic?

Re: Girls and Guns
 

GH, while I did not say it was a private school, you are correct. And uniforms are REQUIRED. Solves all the 'my sneakers are better than yours' type of stuff. VERY strict regimen. VERY strict discipline. And if you or your kids don't like that, you will NOT be invited to attend next semester.

JP, thanks. I try to set the good example.

But I also temper that by being the 'cool uncle'. Or MAYBE the 'crazy uncle'. I'll settle for either.

When I was growing up, I always remember my Uncle Willis. He taught us kids how to shoot fireworks (I love bottle rockets to this day). He took us fishing. We got to go for rides in his convertible. HE WAS THE COOL UNCLE.

That's my goal. To be the cool uncle. So one day, when all my nieces and nephews are grown up, one of them can become the 'cool uncle' by using me as their example. At least that's what I hope for. When my Uncle Willis was in his eighties, he started something with a few of the nephews and DARED them to throw him into the pool. They did. But they all went in with him. They were ALL fully clothed. A lot of wet shoes and wallets that day. But they could not stop laughing about it later. I arrived after this occured. From that point on, I decided I wanted to be like Uncle Willis.

THAT'S THE GUY I ASPIRE TO BE. The guy who takes everyone with him on that ride of fun.

We all need a little crazy every once and a while in our lives. It makes things so much more interesting.

Re: Girls and Guns
 

At the age if 4 & 5 I had my sons shooting 22 cal. ( mom thought I was crazy) but they learned fast what a bullet would do to boards, jugs, and watermelons. It also took the mystrey out of guns, so if they found one at a friends house they knew not to touch it.
we called it respect.

Re: Girls and Guns
 

Wallew, there probably isn't a better role model for you to have than your own uncle. Most people idolize a fictional character on tv. It's unreal. It sounds like your uncle was not only a cool guy, but also a good person to look up to.

I have respect for ANY man in his 80's who dares a bunch of kids to throw him into a pool.

Good for him!
