I have a question for Maryland residents. I was wondering if the state has ever put together a day where children 14-17 could go out and learn about guns and then shoot them? I was going into a local gun shop a few days ago and was listening to a 18 yr old. He was talking jibberish, not that I don't but he was wanting guns to scare a intruder. Saying if he had a AR-15( One he saw on the rack and called it a machine gun) that it would scare any one that came in. He also saw this 44 with a long barrel and said that would scare off anyone. Then we got into talking about children and why guns need to be put away. The owner made a good statement, "children want to mess with a gun because of curiosity." I agree with him a lot. I remember as a kid that I wanted to look at guns, they fascinated me, and still do. My dad would take me out and let me shoot them so the curiosity wasn't as bad, plus I would get my rear blistered if I ever thought about messing with one. I know that there is hunting program for the youth but can we set up a shooting/education day for the youth if there isnt one there? I know it would take a lot of work, I would be ready for that and the media. Any ideas of where to have one, who to contact etc etc...

One other thing, would you be willing to take a few firearms out to use?
