NWI INGO General Post - Part 8

[GhostofWinter]

So...here I sit at the clubhouse and no melensdad. I guess he wasn't lying when he said he was retired. I mean he's so retired that he can't even make it to the business he owns! LOL

I still don't think they are worth it, but I also think if a kid needs a real gun that small, they are to young to be shooting or to have proper grasp of the four rules. Generally by the time they can hold a youth model Ruger 10/22, they in general seem to be able to grasp the rules a lot better. But back to my original statement, the Cricket is not worth having.

You would be wrong

 

[Ericpwp]

I think he meant not worth having in a gun store, or not worth having the kid in the first place (This is SC after all).

I challenge you to prove it sir.

Show me a child who can tell me what the 4 rules are, and what they mean. And can recite them and what they mean when asked out of order. That is something that rogue memorization can't do, that is something that only real knowledge can accomplish at that kind of age. And show me a child that can do that, that can't handle a Ruger 10/22 youth model instead of a Cricket.

Neither are worth having, but in honestly I was talking about the Cricket.

There are a lot of children that could. My granddaughter being one. She is 9 and could not handle the 10/22.

I can't wait til mine gets older.

This is he's first summer and he will turn 10 in August. My rule of thumb is if he can start it on he's own he's good to go.

My electric mower starts really easy, my wife has no trouble cutting the lawn.

My my little girl is only seven. Have hard time with her to pick up dog crap in yard. She thinks she has me in that palm if her hand.... Wait she does.

Still waiting on proof, bring her to the next meet and shoot, we will test this theory.

I got some good news, so I'm fixin' to hit up the clubhouse for a smoke.

Who's with me.

 

[Ericpwp]

There are a lot of people that would rather teach with a single shot then with an autoloader. Knowing the 4 rules is not a requirement for pulling a trigger, parent's discretion is.

I might be later before the Sublime with Rome concert. What is this good news?

You are right, knowing the four rules is not a requirement of pulling the trigger. Make sure you tell that to people who have been shot because someone didn't know the four rules before pulling the trigger. The rules are important beyond measure, and if we in the gun owning community ever want to be able to stand on our own instead of pulling the trump card of the second amendment, we probably need to start learning that. I for one and getting sick and tired of people who don't know the four rules making us look bad with ND's and accidental shootings.

 

[KLB]

Agreed. I've had my Tyler mowing mine since he got here too.
