When I sent the pic to my mom, I said in the subject line, "Warning: Escaped Convict with a Gun." My buddy's wife bought the same outfit, unbeknown to us, and they look like a pair of jailbirds when the two boys are together.
My boy was just out shooting the other day, he's 6 now. Shot my 10/22 for the first time when he was 18 months. He thought the shiny things flinging out the side were much more interesting that the "nothing" happening where the barrel was pointed.
They are at once the most difficult and amazing "thing" that can happen to a person.
I would agree with that. My 7-year-old enjoys shooting her bb gun, but with her attention span, I haven't yet moved her to firearms. She's usually pretty safe, but I have to be a hawk in order to make sure it stays that way.
