    It was a single shot break action, so after shooting the weapon was out of ammo. My dad would never have let me do anything too dangerous.

    And I for sure knew that guns were dangerous after that. It was an important lesson for me, a good laugh for him haha.

      I’d be so scared that my kid would fuck around and not just shoot the rifle but injure or kill themselves. Or me.

      Let’s just say one of my kids inherited his mother’s clumsiness. 🙊🙈

        Fair enough, its important To know if your kids are ready or not for weapons, I mean, they are tools specifically designed to kill after all. But learning to respect firearms young can help with understanding how dangerous they really are if used improperly

        Though a clumsy kid with a gun sounds pretty scary lol.

          It really does. Luckily I don’t have to make these choices. Strict gun law-country here. And I’m happy about that.
