Post #124,344 by boxley 11/5/03 5:22:51 PM Reply	A friend of mine has had a lot of guns rifles, pistols all over the house, all loaded with one in the chamber with the safety off. His kid grew up amid that without incident. He always said and I maintain, that all weapons must be regarded as ready to go, so an accident cant happen. thanx, bill "You're just like me streak. You never left the free-fire zone.You think aspirins and meetings and cold showers are going to clean out your head. What you want is God's permission to paint the trees with the bad guys. That wont happen big mon." Clete questions, help? [link\|mailto:pappas@catholic.org\|email pappas at catholic.org]

Post #124,382 by orion 11/5/03 9:26:20 PM Reply	Of course, kids aren't responsible enough for firearm use which is why they should start out with toy guns until they can demonstrate some responsibility of not aiming it at people. If they point it at someone, take it away from them. When they are old enough and can demonstrate responsibility they can move up to a BB Gun or Air Pellet gun under adult supervision only. Never let a child play with a real gun or have access to a real gun, you wouldn't let them drive a truck, why let them have access to a real gun? It is like playing with fire. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*
Post #124,409 by boxley 11/5/03 11:03:29 PM Reply	in a real world kids fire pistols at 3 or 4, respect the parents shotguns by being asked to shoot one at age 5 or so and encouraged to shoot regularly thru teen years. Only when the attitude of Oh well its shooting time again takes place will younguns have an atitude of its a tool. not a toy. thanx, bill "You're just like me streak.
