12689706, is there a gun in your home?
Posted by Deadzombie, Sun Jan-04-15 06:36 PM
how old is too young a young person to be trained to use a handgun?

should they even start with a handgun?
12689723, yes we have guns.
Posted by deejboram, Sun Jan-04-15 06:59 PM
dont start on a handgun.
start on a bolt action 22LR rifle
a lil Savage Rascal is nice
proper age is between 5 & 7

handguns come in teenage years and even then you start with 22LR
12689782, Although I got a very good lesson by handling a 357

Long before teen years. Firing that one will knock kid on ass and teach respect of firearms

12689727, most kids transition from a BB/pellet gun to a .22 rifle

12689778, First gun I ever shot was a .22 rifle at 12 out hunting with my father

I was like Elmer Fudd getting ticked off I couldn't hit a rabbit to save my life while my father was always a dead eye. Took me a long time to get good.
12689785, i still remember when i finally learned how to breathe
Posted by GriftyMcgrift, Sun Jan-04-15 09:35 PM
while shooting. like all of a sudden things were way easier
12689738, shouldnt start with a handgun and in my house, no, never has been
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Sun Jan-04-15 07:15 PM
i grew up around a lot of people with guns and learned a bit about them but a gun in a moroccan's house? nah, we got fiery ass tempers for that. i never saw the need. we lived in a lower middle class neighborhood with some petty crime but a shooting was extremely rare. i just don't see things aligning right for me to use a gun in a constructive way and i never was real into the leisure side of them. shooting range is just a noisy ass place. my dad grew up with guns (was raised on a farm in montgomery county) from a real young age but he never had them as an adult. his best friend took him shooting a couple times when i was a really little kid but he hasn't fired a gun in 30 years now. just not our thing, i guess.
12689744, nah.

12690135, exactly! it's a damn shame to think that way
Posted by sixteenstone, Mon Jan-05-15 01:18 PM
But that was also my reaction.
12689806, I own quite a few guns!
Posted by homer_pimpson225, Sun Jan-04-15 10:35 PM
I received my first gun - a .22 bolt action rifle - when I was 11 years old, then my first shotgun - a .410 pump action- when I was 13. When my son is around 11 or 12, a .22 rifle will also be his first gun.

I don't think a handgun as a child's first firearm is good idea. I didn't receive my first pistol - a .22 rimfire semi-auto - until I was 14.

Posted by MiracleRic, Mon Jan-05-15 09:06 AM
i don't do guns anymore

i was on a rifle team in high school

and carried a handgun for a couple years

but don't plan on owning any anymore

12689882, of course....a couple of em
Posted by ambient1, Mon Jan-05-15 09:08 AM
12689895, No. I don't believe in that shit.
Posted by Hitokiri, Mon Jan-05-15 09:31 AM
And honestly I'm a bit surprised so many people (so far) have posted saying they do own guns.

How do ya'll feel about gun reform then? A ban on handguns?
12690129, Why are you surprised? Think about the statistics
Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Mon Jan-05-15 01:14 PM
Look at the ratio of guns to people in the United States and the proportion of homes with guns in them. It does not surprise me at all.
12689897, yes but im donating them to charity
Posted by guru0509, Mon Jan-05-15 09:41 AM
no.

12689904, nah...i'll probably never own one but
Posted by gumz, Mon Jan-05-15 10:01 AM
i definitely want to learn how to use them. it's just one of those skills i feel i should have like swimming or riding a bike
12689906, nope, but i debate about owning on in my head
Posted by Calico, Mon Jan-05-15 10:02 AM

12690163, I was 10 when my grandpa taught me.
Posted by Starbaby Jones, Mon Jan-05-15 01:38 PM
He started with a rifle, though. I probably didn't shoot a handgun until I was like 13. I don't have one now, but that's b/c it hasn't been a high purchase priority.
