What is this, some sort of Model Thread? A Thread that will be used for decades to come to illustrate how to disagree tactfully and intelligently?? When we're all old and gray, we'll be saying, "remember back in Feb 08, when there was this thread about personal responsibility and killing things? It was a thread to end all threads. They just don't make threads like that anymore, no sir. Those were the days...yup."


All this tactfulness and honor - this is too much, I'm outta here.

Still here but leaving.


















Anyone looking?



















What were we talking about?

I like that 7 year old kid. She's got guts. I'd love my son to play with kids like
that.

Welcome, and I agree with PC, never be worried to post being as we all have our own opinions and that is what makes this great, and we can all learn from each other.

With that being said, I am going to open my big southern mouth. All of our children, are taught very early to respect firearms. My son will be turning 5 at the end of the month. He has had his own bb gun, since he was three, and it does stay secured with all of our other guns at all times. The only time it is out for him to use, is if we are there and supervising him. He will be getting a single shot .22 this year for his fifth birthday. He has shown to us, in the last two years that he listens well, and has gone on many little hunting trips with dh when he hunts squirrels, doves and rabbits. He will most likely get a 410 for his next birthday when he turns 6. I believe thoroughly that if a child is raised to respect what a firearm can do, then that is better then shielding them from them, then the curiosity will take over and that is usually where something terrible can happen.

I am also a mom to six kids, all of which will have their own shotguns, rifles and pellet guns, except for the 1.5 year old. We have a shooting range in our back yard set up, and that is what the kids practice on. They are required, by us to have so many hours of time in the range before they are allowed to go hunting each season, and they have to successfully show to either myself or my husband that they are being responsible.

I think the manner that children are taught is the important part. My son, almost 5 can pick a can off at 30 feet, and my 17 year old daughter has reached a point where she successfully got a deer at 150 yards. She started off the same way, that my five year old is starting. They all have a GREAT respect for what can happen, and that makes them all the more careful.

Hopefully this is just another point of view, of teaching children respect for the fire arms.

(And my 5 year old can also cull a full grown rooster when we are butchering, with a quick twist of the neck.)

I'd love my son to play with your kids too.​

Just ducked back in for a second to see if PC is really gone...


I think PC is just looking to get rid of his kid on some free playdates!







Okay, gone.





Soon.

PC, feel free to come over and bring your son when we cull roosters this summer. We'll have a grand old time!

 

[Kentucky~Momma]

PC, feel free to send drum down anytime!

Far be it from me to leave you with the impression that I skip around flinging rose petals and shedding rainbows. Let me PM you the posts I really wanted to send but didn't. (Mainly because there are young people here and I can't afford to get kicked off this forum because I need the info on it)
If it will make you feel better, we could all insult you for a couple of pages.....
