Taught a new shooter today

[Black Adder LXX]

Well, I taught a noob today. I've known this guy for about 6 years, he came up through the youth group at my church and has never been shooting. I don't know about anybody else here, but I get a lot of joy out of taking someone out and showing them that they can handle 'big scary guns' safely and have fun doing it. I taught him the 4 rules on the drive down, then showed him how to hold them properly and how to watch the muzzle. We shot my 22 smith revolver then a buckmark and ended with a 9mm M&P and a Makarov. Needless to say I'll be available to him to help him pick his first gun.

I should've shown him how to clean them, too...

Just had to tell some folks who would understand....

I understand perfectly. Right on.

CONGRATULATIONS! There are few endeavors in life more worthwhile, than passing the torch of freedom to the next generation, by teaching responsible firearms use to a non-shooter.

For me, it's that look they get on their faces when they fire off the first shot and you know they're thinking, "HOLY $#%# THIS IS AWESOME!!!"
