[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1897928, member: 109862"] I’ve been wondering this myself lately. My wife is due in less than two months, with twins, and I have two sons, so I’m soon to be a father of four (and these newcomers will almost certainly be here just before my oldest boy’s 3rd birthday - I probably won’t remember anything from the year ahead!). It will be non optional that they know firearm safety and know how to effectively use a firearm should they have to one day - beyond that I have no interest in pushing this obsession of mine onto them, if they’re not into hunting or shooting they don’t need to be. That being said, I struck out last hunting season and it got me reconsidering that as well, I joking/not joking said to wife “once they’re teenagers they WILL go hunting with dad or they will accept a vegetarian lifestyle, I can’t afford to buy meat for a family of 6 carnivores!” She agrees. She’s even wanting to get into hunting herself for the same reason, and I swear I never thought I’d see that day! So that’s a big win on my end of things. [/QUOTE]
