Exactly. My dad once told us take a drop of beer . Of course we hated the smell. And that pretty much took away the mystique and urge to try something new when he wasn't there. None of us have ever drunk. I'd say it was a lesson well taught.

Not yet. Problem not for a few more year. She hasnt shot any thing yet either. MAYBE by next fall she will get some trigger time.
It just jumped out at me at first but on a brighter note thats wonderful she enjoys fishing !
I TOO LOVE FISHING !!!

i was 6 when i first shot a gun and that was right about a good age for me. idk if id recommend older or younger but with nearly 3 dozen fire arms in your home i trust your sense of judgement. id take her hunting before she shot too. just to watch. i went for first time when i was 3.JD7.62;4810306; said:

I only go deer hunting now and unfortunately dont think I will be able to before the season is up and where I hunt its a pretty tough 30 minute hike. I need to find a more family place to hunt. Its so rough we cant get a four wheeler through it. No place for a small child to enjoy.
As for her shooting, Im thinking a youth .22 off the bench with me really doing most of the work. It probably wont be until she is six or seven until she is big enough to do it all on her own.
it just takes one time...maybe somedayshowing the gun to a friend.. just one second of an instance... i hope that you always have success..believe me..i do.. she is beautiful little girl.... i just hear so many times..over the tragic story.. remember no matter how much you trust your child...they are still a child.. with a childs mind..JD7.62;4810287; said:
I hear you and they are precious. I am a very logical thinker who uses facts and reality as opposed to an emotional thinker. For example, many more children die by drowning in swimming pools. The number of guns DWARFS the number of swimming pools. Would posting a picture of her in a swimming pool be worse since they are in fact more deadly?
Just like at the pool or at the beach, we as parents must use reason and common sense to ensure our children's safety and guns are no different. They are inherently no more or less dangerous than many other every day objects we have around the home.
