Sorry it took so long to reply. I don't remember GWB school speech, but I would have probably let him listen to it. It's my job as a parent to keep things away from my son that i think is not good for him. I don't cuss around him, he can't watch bad movies or play mature games on his PSP, ect...
I went to a pheasent hunt at Atterbury one year, ONE YEAR. Those guys were nuts, they were shooting birds on the ground. I had buckshot fallin on me several times. I never went back.
Obamas BS
My boy came home from school Fri. with a slip for me to sign. It's for the Obama speach. He told the teacher I wouldn't want it, "but she made me bring it home anyway". He is 10 & I guess he picked up on how I feel about Obama. He won't be watching the speech!

I would call the police, at least you would have a report on file. I am pretty sure there is a leash law in IN. If its on your property or you fear for your safety you can protect yourself.
