That guy is some freakin' hero, isn't he? What kind of dip***** lets his wife/sister/girlfriend light off a gun like that withought making sure she is holding it properly? Looks like a 12 gauge slug gun; about twice the recoil of your average '06. I hope her daddy kicked his ass.

The whole setting is absurd. Kids should not come near guns at all.

I did that when I was like 8 with a 20. It will teach you very quickly how to properly handle any firearm. Sometimes it takes getting a hit to learn how to hold something the right way. The guy though shouldn't of just stood behind her to support her. He should of had his hand on the back of the butt to stop the recoil.
Plain stupid on everyones part.

I was going to the range with Dad at the ripe old age of five. Somewhere I have a photo he took of me shooting his .44 Mag. when I was around 10. Never even came close to having an "accident" around guns. Why is that?

Your dad is not a bleeding heart liberal that is afraid of guns and taught you how to use guns like any other tool? (that is my best guess)

I know. All in good family humor. I am still waiting for a liberal to come and defend me.

Don't feel bad Livi, there is alot of truth in your original statement....I just think it encompasses more than what should be stated.... Alot of kids are injured each year because of guns but it is usually because careless parents do not educate their kids and/or secure the guns out of reach.... I believe personally that the best form of education on firearms is the follow through on enforcing the rules taught to the kids.....

My Dad gave me a single shot 20 ga. when I was 8 or so. First time I shot it I put the butt in the crook of my arm. Man, that hurt alot. I remember I was crying and my Dad and Grandpa were laughing. It was a light gun with a bad recoil. For a year or two, I used a paperback as a recoil pad.

Ok Livi, I'll defend you.
Hey guys, Livi just doesn't know any better. He lives in a country with far, far fewer guns per household. Where he lives, his kids have almost no chance of coming across a gun while playing at a friend's house. So there's not much need to teach kids gun safety there. Honestly, whether you like guns or not, in the US your kids have a pretty good chance of coming across a gun at sometime in their childhoods. Hopefully, it's only with adult supervision. But in case it's not, you want them to know how to behave around guns. Most kids are pretty curious and most guns just beg you pick them up if you're a kid. I know I saw plenty of guns at friends' houses while growing up. On the rare occasion where we did touch them (when the father was there and said ti was ok), I knew how to clear it and also knew not to try to imitate the stupid stuff I saw on tv with guns.

Good post, Rick. That is of course the reason generally speaking. Adapt, overcome, survive. With guns in every household I would also make sure my kids knew how to handle them. As it is here in Sweden though, I am glad they donīt have to.

When I inherited Dads guns lo and behold there was a .410 single shot he gave me when I was 10. I haven't seen it in over 35 years. Still shooting at age 56. Haven't hurt myself or anybody else yet.

What a jerk. I've lost count of the times I've heard the story of having a newbie pull both triggers on a dbl 12 ga. I wonder how many road signs he's shot.
