Happy Birthday rawfuls

First time shooting?! Glad you had fun. I guess everywhere isn't like MT, I've been around guns and shooting my whole life. You're right, nothing quite like the smell of gunpowder!

Sure, my first time; but not my last!

My parents are the opposite of gun nuts (they highly dislike it.. ), but apparently both of my brothers are gun fanatics... secretly.

I feel like this will become another expensive hobby.

Guns are good in the right setting, and saftey is seriously important and needs to be taght by the right person. I learned how to shoot while I was in the Navy and became an expert shooting the 9mm pistal or M16 auto and carbine rifle. I favor guns, but when you have kids growing up in your home guns take on a different perspective for some people. I grew up where guns were everywhere, and I can tell you that I have seen a lot of kids getting shot for various reasons including petty childish arguments, accidents, and even playful mishaps. I know for sure that if we had a gun in our house over the last five years or so that one of our kids could have and probably would have shot either one of their sibblings or us due to anger issues. Plus when I was about 14 one of my older brothers friends decided one night to kill his parents with a shotgun while they were sleeping because they would not buy him a new car after he totaled the fist one they bought for him. The human mind is just too fickle to take chances when it comes to having deadly weapons in your home. Yea I know lock them up, keep a trigger lock on them, and teach your kids respect for guns. Still too easy for a misunderstanding or misinterpritation to give another person an excuse as to why they needed to shoot someone after they broke into the gun safe or cut the trigger lock off. There is always a way.
