Re: Too young for BB gun?

Thanks! As a pilot, I flew into BHM quite regularly when I lived in Florida...Got it.. I guess the way you put it just tricked me into thinking you meant something else.

BTW...I am in CRP right now... Headed to HRL to fly to AUS and back! :) Hope the ice and IFR is not to bad tonight and I don't have to divert to SAT or CLL!

Ha!

The oldest boy (10) has earned a BB marksmanship badge in Webelos and the youngest is in Cub Scouts. After a review of gun safety rules, gun operation, etc., we proceeded to take turns shooting a paper target.

After a couple of shots each, it turned into a total disaster, the boys wouldn't mind either their Dad or us and flagrantly waved the gun in all directions and fought over it, etc., etc. I took the gun away and put it back in our car and said NEVERMORE.

I hope you exercise a lot more discipline over your offspring and y'all have a better experience with the BB gun than these grandparents did.

BTW, these ill-mannered kids are not welcome in our house this Christmas and we're not going back to BHM! We'll send them a check.

Merry Christmas to all!
ok..so I can't fiugre out what BHM is! I googled it and I assume you don't mean "big handsome men" lol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BHM" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Can you fill us in?

I bought my 5 year old daughter a pretty realistic toy shotgun to take dove hunting with me last fall. We learned gun safety rules and this toy gun in particular is to be treated just like a real gun.. And she does a great job! :) Can't wait to get her the real thing!
