Should children be taught the proper use of firearms at an early age?

[Stace]

ITs good advice-given the level of ignorance of some on this board when it comes to gun issues, I thought I would offer some free edification. When I was a boy, my father told me never to point a loaded gun at anyone. When I was close to being a man, he told me something more important-NEVER point an UNLOADED gun at someone

IF you don't understand why, I will explain to you later

Thanks for the offer, but I do understand. See, that's the thing - I don't necessarily AGREE with you on everything concerning this issue, but I understand where you're coming from. :mrgreen:

You disagree that it is unwise to point an unloaded gun at someone?

Did I say that? No. I said I don't agree with you on everything relating to this ISSUE, not your post.

It was certainly your implication, but it was not my post.

Eh, technicalities. Alright, fine. I disagree with TurtleDude on some parts of this entire issue, not necessarily that one post in question. Of course it's not a great idea to point a gun at someone, loaded or not. I think the whole "don't point at something you don't intend to shoot" lesson is a great one.

If you point a gun at someone, you better be ready to fire.

Well we seem to have found something we can all agree on here.
