I applaud and affirm this message. Nothing better than family time together, learning safety and respect for firearms, and enjoying the sport. I agree 100% with Hokie- more people need to give sport shooting a try. Part of our problem today is that the majority of those who hate guns have never handled them. Their strong opinion is based on statistics and fear, not experience and fact.
My daughter and I saw a truck the other day, with the personalized license plates "gns kll" on it. None of my guns have ever killed anyone- they just sit there, waiting for a hand to hold them. People kill, not objects.
Both of my daughters are well versed in shooting, and I am very proud of them. My wife goes with us sometimes, too, but she does it to show support and participate, not because she is passionate about it (she is supportive, though, and is not opposed to guns in the house). The girls are, though. My youngest (20) prefers her 12 gauge, and will shoot it all day long. Good thing she works and can buy her own shells!
I can't wait for the weather to get nicer, the ground less muddy, and some time on our hands to take out my AR. They have shot just about everything I've got, except that. They will enjoy it, and it will be a new experience to learn.
