Walkinman, i couldnt agree more. Yes safety is number one, before my boys even get to touch the gun at the range they get we call the rules of operating a gun. Bit with the parenting i actually have a aunt who just cant beleive i would take my boys out and let them shoot a gun. Iexplained to her several things but what i stressed the most is that whether im at the range or hunting i still use what my dad taught me 25 yrs ago when i first started shooted. I dont nor will defend myself to her, as long as she wouldnt say anything about my boys in a negative way just decided to walk away, impossible to talk to a single minded thinking person.
