[QUOTE="cf1105, post: 1897797, member: 88543"] My dad gave me a single shot Remington youth model 22 LR when I was 8. I had been shooting his Marlin 39A before. Some of my best memories with him was going to the dump and shooting bottles and cans. He taught me firearms safety very early. I gave the Remington to my son when he was 8. I don't know how many rounds he has shot plinking (he's 25 now). He plans to give it to his son when he turns 8 (currently 2 yrs). A family tradition! I know my exposure to firearms at an early age taught me respect for them. My dad impressed on me how they were not toys. I think what is a problem today is that most kids are not exposed to firearms at an early age and taught respect. The only place they see them is in Call of Duty or some other video game. Hunting not only gives them a love of the outdoors but shows them the damage a bullet can do to a living animal. [/QUOTE]
