My questions are: If you grew up around guns what kind ofeducation did your parents implement? When did you shoot for the 1st time? Whendid you get your 1st .22 rifle?
I got my first .22 bolt action Savage for my 11th birthday. My dad has always stood by his views of knowledge over curiosity when it comes to firearms safety in young shooters. He has been a LEO since I was born and I grew up with guns in the house and he thought it was a good idea to educate my sister and I before our curiosity could come into play. I guess the moral of the story is a little education concerning firearms can save a life that ignorant curiosity could jeopardize.
Hope this helps!
