Dilemma... gun safety for the kid...

[Sgt_R]

If I saw my kid doing something stupid on her bicycle, I wouldn't run out and buy her a motorcycle for her birthday.

Not even 1 1/2 years later?!? What a hard a$$! Y'all do realize this thread is 1 1/2 years old, right?!?

Good on you Son of Roost! Look at the options for that 10/22. I started with a stock carbine model. Got a Kidd two-stage match trigger for it. Then replaced the barrel and stock with a match barrel and thumbhole stock. I just won 2nd place with it in a 100 yard competition and they were all shooting centerfire rifles with expensive scopes and spotting scopes and expensive bench rests. My 10/22 shot better than 10 of theirs! and with only a BSA Sweet 22 scope on it!

Welcome to THR SonofRoost!

I apologize for the members who are having some difficulty actually READING this thread and think it is a typical "zombie thread", or who are still providing their opinion on your Dad's situation from two years ago...

Thanks for becoming a responsible gun owner- enjoy your Ruger and upcoming 1911!

Edited because I read the first 2 pages too quickly without realizing the date...

:banghead:

Congrats on learning your lesson.

I too did several stupid things growing up, and now I have a son that continues the tradition from time to time.

Disregard, I didn't look at dates either.


Welcome to the wonderful world of of gun ownership. Just continue to be aware that with that freedom comes responsibility and you'll do fine.

Welcome to The High Road, SonOfRoost.... This is a great story, sounds like you have a good Dad.

 

[SonOfRoost]

I do have a great Dad, and have not had any kind of firearms safety issue since then. And thanks for the welcome everyone!

 

[Sgt_R]

Wow, my bad. I guess I should read the entire thread next time, not to mention check the dates...

Anyway, welcome to THR. I'm glad that you 'learned your lesson,' so to speak, and hope that you enjoy a lifetime of firearms ownership. Good luck getting that 1911, I've had my eye on one lately too.

I explained to her that, had we taught him to treat that airsoft gun with the same respect as a real gun, it would be very telling of whether he was mature enough to handle a real gun... but because we didn't use that same rule structure, or strict rule structure, it really wasn't the same... what he did was act stupid with a toy.... I even told her that we could implement a "same as a gun" rule with his airsoft, if she thought that was best.... but that punishing him as though it were a gun violation, when it was really a toy, doesn't seem right to me....

I play Paintball (woodsball style) with a lot of friends (+30) at once, and that means shooting at the other team (with paintballs) and be very "VERY" trigger happy... but that doesn't mean i'll do the same with my "Real Guns" i dont even touch the trigger in my guns while i have the finger on the trigger with my paintballs-guns all the time... but hey... it's a game.


on a side note, i play realistic when we play "realistic game" or training scenario.
