I have a friend who is a year younger than me (22) and still lives with his parents (he's going full time to college, though, so I'm not blaming him). He just recently acquired his first handgun. At first, I told him that if his parents wouldn't let him hold on to it, he could store it in my safe (for the rental cost of "I can take it to the range when I want to") but they let him keep it. Even so, his mom has reservations about him owning a firearm.
So, to alleviate her concerns, I asked my Mom to ask his mom to go shooting with her. I figured we could take her (me and my friend), which might let her see how we handle them, but that it might get her a lot more interested if she had a peer to go with instead.
Anyway, we'll have to see. Maybe my friend will lose his handgun...because his Mom wants it instead.
