why have a child anywhere near you when you handle any bloody weapon.cousin came round today ,bloody keen shooter -training his grandson whose smackin em over whilst grandad takes some exceptional photography and his reaction was just to shake his head.
hes 73 ,i turn 60 2weeks today and when i was a kid ,the fucking rule was simple -you dont touch or even go near a firearm unless an adult told you and even then you stayed bloody still.
Mine are all in my mancave ,and my rule is simple -If i dont like you -about turn and fuck off you aint even gonna get a sniff of gunoil.
even my own clan (all adults) will not touch my guns nor my chainsaws without my ok- to do so will provoke a charge worthy of any scrub bull with PMT herpes or just fuckin plain bad attitude -I kid you not .I can kill myself easily with either but thats my mistake my doing -I wont accept anyone even getting an injury If those weapons bear my name as I AM RESPONSIBLE-and that fucking includes my air rifle and my BB gun.
MY POINT- whoever put that air rifle away loaded-we dont know -but ultimately as the adult in the house our role is to set an example whatever it is ,especially in dangerous situations. my kids NEVER touch BBgun or airrifle without my OK or me being present. no ifs buts or exceptions! why decide to take the thing out without being aware of the immediate surrounds first.
