Those are so cool, the pictures. I love to see kids with guns having a great time at the range or just enjoying them.

Since this thread was started in 2005, how many of the kids have their own guns now? Especially the first post (she should have at least a youth .22 by now :) ),
 
Here's my 13 year old daughter, with a silenced uzi :)

Original poster here and to answer your question - Nope... She's only 4 and still on the small side (physically) It's just been the last few months that she has accepted wearing ear protection which allows her to go to the range. So no 22 yet.

I've looked into youth 22's and like the colorful Crickets that are available (so does she). She gets the difference between real guns and the toys she has but I'm not convinced that her 4 year old mind can fully grasps the concept of what a real gun, even a 22 can do - yet. I'm still thinking she'll be ready for a real firearm around the age of 6 - which is about 1 1/4 years away.

She is very comfortable around Paw-Paws guns. She likes to look at and handle them, always asks and knows not to touch if I am not around. She likes to help me reload ammunition. She plays with toy guns just like I did when I was a kid so I know the interest is there. BUT I also know my grand-daughter really well and I don't think she's at the point yet where I would feel comfortable with putting the real deal in her hands. Eventually but not yet - no not yet.
 
Seeing these young children with guns gives me hope that all is not lost in America. Unfortunately, far too few people teach their kids to shoot and why firearms are so important in maintaining our freedom (what we have left of it).
 
Great thread. One of my best days was with a friend and his daughter shooting her first rifle. That reminds me I owe a little girl a range trip since her Dad is deployed, and she says I am more fun to shoot with than Mom.

its hard enough finding someone to go to the damn range with me. yet I see pictures of free states with people 1/3 my age with UZI's and AR's. I love America, but NJ is another story haha.
 
DontBurnMyFlag, the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs runs a Youthfest every spring at the Cherry Ridge Range. I've taken my kids twice and both times they had a blast. Shotgun, black powder, 22's, and high-power rifles, open to all kids 10 to 18 and absolutely free. A really great program.
 
Starship Troopers (the movie) was the first thing I thought of too.

I wish I was that kid.
 
My son and his Great Grandpa's rifle! He calls it Bossy because the deer always seem to lay down when it speaks! It was passed down to my Dad, then to me, and hopefully to him when he is ready!

kids and guns

my family doesn't get it but my wifes starting to. we stopped at a gunstore outdoor range my 4 year old daughter asked me about noise and it was easier to show her than explain. i really love how folks will take time to help. from range officer who rushed to make sure we had ear protection for her(and suggested and provided plugs to go along with the muffs i bought her. to the lady who explained guns to her and showed her hers and explained "the rules" the ro liked the fact that rug rat already knew em and when lady started telling them they ended up reciting them together. its great if we're outside shooting skeet in yard she won't come out with out HER muffs. i hope mthat she won't be 1/2 deaf like daddy.
 
Heres my 4 year old son Taylor practicing some sniper tactics. :p

He thought the 22's were fun, but wanted to try something with a bit more kick. :D

Same granddaughter with her first deer. She killed it with a muzzle loader.

Can you put a price on any of those grins?

(And before anyone says anything. They were not shooting at the time. We had gotten home. They wore ear and eye protection at the range.)
 
My loving wife with her AK, PCR, and new assault vest. Old picture at the range, with my boy. That kid got into my computer, and deleted all my picture/video/music files - had some cute pics of him with Mosins/Yugos/Enfield. Goinna have to redo 'em....

I asked the DoJ if belts "longer than 10 rounds" could be linked together. They replied in the affirmative, as long as they're done with links manufactured before the ban. Oddly enough, they didn't mention anything about the links being owned before the ban. Remember, each link holds only a single round, and thus can be bought and sold freely. And there's a lot of pre-ban links out there.

I'd get it in writing if I were you.
