Redshift, I agree that training is very important. The reason a lot of gun users end up injuring themselves is due to lack of proper training.
Sly, I do plan on teaching my children about gun satefy, but they are 7, 6 and 2 so are a few years off yet. When they are of appropriate age, they will get full training, be taught respect for guns and don't point at anything you don't intend to shoot. My son will be getting his first BBGun for Winter Soltice this year and even something like a BBGun will be treated with the respect of any other gun. This goes back to training.
EvilChris? Guns aren't for sport? I'd beg to differ...you will be joining us for the skeet shooting during InterNext, right?
There is nothing like blasting clay pigeons with a shotgun...unless you support pottery rights too? ;)))
BTW, for those who've expressed an interest, I'm working with the range about us renting the whole facility out so we can have "adult" fun....no alcohol is allowed on the range, but there are plenty of places to grab a drink afterwards....
