Its good to see children learning good safe practices supervised by licenced firearms owners. Perhaps schools or scouting groups should promote safe instructed firearm use. A friend of mine has two young lads and they both have a very good understanding of firearm use and safety issues.

Good to see a positive story for a change, thanks Tv3. I think its important for kids and adults to learn safety and respect around firearms and also learn that its not just about violence and there are plenty of legal, rewarding and enjoyable sports and activities that involve firearms usage.

I have two boys and began educating them at a very young age about safe handling of firearms. As an active hunter and competition shooter I have firearms in the home. I believe it would have been highly irresponsible of me to not have done so. Neither of the boys, now adults, share my interest in firearms, but, they are both well aware of safe handling issues. There is no doubt that from an early age they appreciated the reality of firearms as distinct from the BS picture of them promoted by the "entertainment" industry, surely a much better situation. Knowing and understanding the hazards and dangers of any situation is surely preferable to the alternative.
