Was a walking a field on the edge of the woods and someone in the woods must have let go at something cause I felt something sting the side of my face. I put my hand up and came away streaked with blood. Must have caught a few stray pellets. Luckily he was far enough away that they had no power left and it wasn't bad, like a couple shaving nicks.Wolfsheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02557657560134585950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254500550558367704.post-18187578097304721052010-06-19T13:23:47.330-04:002010-06-19T13:23:47.330-04:00Neo, yes he's a big CoD lover.

Throw in today's video games like Call of Duty etc and that makes it inevitable that the boy will interested in the things. I also have always feared guns to an extent but that's mostly from being unfamiliar with them. Growing up in RI or Mass can do that to you. If you don't have guns in the home, no real problem there but if you do have a gun in the home it's always better to handle it like Wolfie did and introduce your child to guns along with the rules in gun handling so something bad doesn't happen. The thing is these rules apply when the kid is elsewhere as well so knowledge of guns, gun handling, and the things that can happen when guns are used might be more important than you know. Suppose the boy is at a friend's house and there is a gun there? You can't always be with him, the best you can hope for is to teach him to make good choices.The Neophytehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11606959676407800658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254500550558367704.post-12503462872660064422010-06-18T15:16:52.602-04:002010-06-18T15:16:52.602-04:00Wolfie, my son has a couple of those air guns, pel...Wolfie, my son has a couple of those air guns, pellet guns whatever you call them...and we have lots of rules...yet I was shot once. hurt like hell. plus I was pissed off for about a month.<br /><br />Morning Thunder I'll give the NRA a skip but thanks.Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00226640652091292377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254500550558367704.post-65513672839304845522010-06-18T15:12:37.758-04:002010-06-18T15:12:37.758-04:00I signed this blog up on the NRA web site.

My daughter, 12, while not fascinated by them, loves to shoot although we've only used my air pistols so far. The thing is I taught her the 3 rules of gun handling when she was 6 or 7 and altho we don't shoot as much as either of us would like and I have never repeated them to her if you would ask today what he rules are she'll snap them right off for you. Best part is she actually knows what they mean and isn't just repeating a rote speech.Wolfsheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02557657560134585950noreply@blogger.com
