To all the posters who mock the OP,

Would you be comfortable being a guest in a house where a father has just offered his 6 year old a hunting rifle, and is helping him practice?

Me too.  Our families are hunters.  Six is about the age for a first gun.  Gun safety is taught from a very young age and kids aren't allowed to shoot until they take gun safety.  My in laws have a target set up in their yard.  My BIL and nephew taught my boys to shoot and my boys are pretty good shots - and excellent with gun safety.  We spend tons of time at our families' houses.  [/quote]

My boys have been shooting since they were about that age.  They all got their first rifles at about eight or nine.  I come from a family that hunts for food.  My boys are excellent shots.   They are educated about guns and gun safety.  They have passed numerous gun safety courses.  I guarantee you that they are MUCH less likely to be killed in a gun accident than any of your city kids.  They would be the ones to keep your kids from shooting themselves if they accidently found a gun.

Seriously.  Everyone does not live like you sheltered D.C. city people.  Kids in more rural areas learn to handle guns.  It really is ok.[/quote]
Do you sound anything like OP's idiot BIL, sounds like the answer is "NO", so take a seat. Lots of responsible people own guns OP's BIL cannot be counted in that number. [/quote]
