I think I am going to buy one of those Savage Rascles for my kids in the next few days. Under 200 bucks. Are there any 4H classes for handguns Stephen?

Nice job Stephen. Good choice for your kids.

Thats one aspect of Norman's we still have. We eat all our meals as a family at the dinner table. My take on parenting is very traditional.

Hey, what happens in the privacy of my own home is my business! Oh, my sister is pretty "progressive". She seems to think that if anything is classified as "traditional" it must be old and bad. I tend to think a mix of both is best.

Not to be a total dick, but is this part of the "Progressiveness" I get beat over the head with? Sometimes the old ways are the best ways.

I have seen kids younger than that get a sip of beer, like under a year. Too young.

Yes, Peter, we talked about that too. He figured that the kids that never had a beer before they graduate high school often go wild once they get away from home. I had a friend that had his tuition paid up but they still asked him to leave. Outright prohibition, I like that phrase. I used to...

Tell you the truth, so do I. Scares me to death to think that my kids are growing up this fast. I was talking to a friend last night, we talked about all the shit we did as children, and are we going to let our children do the same. We talked about driving, motorcycles, shooting, stuff like...

Oh, I bet he didn't even feel it Jay!

Oh, yeah. The big ones, like an inch and a half long made good targets. Honed my keen killer eye.

Yep, all you would have to do is ask my father how destructive they can be too! I racked up an impressive tally of grasshoppers though.

A BB gun is way more destructive in the hands of a kid than a .22.

I thought about those today too Gary. I started off with an old Winchester pump, but I was big for my age.

You might be able to get that trigger worked on by a gunsmith or something. Maybe there is not much too it, you might be able to lighten the pull yourself, maybe some info on the internet about it. Do you have to belong to a club to shoot air rifles Peter, or can you do what you want with...

That is an excellent point Scott. I had overlooked Marlin's youth models. The .17 is a good one, in fact that is all you can buy ammo for right now up here. Not a bad thought about an air rifle, not a cheap BB gun. You can still buy pellets. Are you going to teach your kids to shoot...

I find myself in the strange position of needing to buy a single shot .22 for my daughter. Savage and Chipmunk make some nice little ones, sucks you cant buy any .22 shells though. Do you guys think 7 is too young? I started with a BB gun at about 6, unsupervised. By 9 I had a .22 and a...
