Yikes
Maybe it was the gun’s weight that upset the kid, considering there would’ve been an extra round inside. I came across this poster at a gun range when I was twelve years old and received a lot of hate for being there. But if you think about it, wouldn’t you rather have someone who is inexperienced with guns handling one than someone like me who has had plenty of training?
I believe that gun owners should be required to spend a certain number of hours at the range with a professional each year. If you’re going to hold something this dangerous, it’s only common sense that you learn how to use it properly! It sounds like this father was being extremely careful about it, and he was 12 years old when he started learning.
