When the time is right, my kids will be taught the right way, most likely beginning on the shooting range at summer camp as I did.

Guns are inherently dangerous, kids are stupid, and luck has it's limits. Firearms can be great fun with proper guidance and direction, but in the absence of such oversight I think it's better just to keep them out of sight and mind.



Bingo. In retrospect, the patches are kind of corny (DE at 50 feet and Bar 8 at 100 yards), but learning in that highly controlled environment was perfect.
