My Daughter's First Day at Range with Her Revolver

[Bierhunter]

We sat on the driveway tonight and I taught her the necessity and discipline of cleaning your weapon after shooting. We had some nice talks while doing so. Nothing cleans up like a stainless s&w. Yes... we were at Oil Capitol...it would have been nice to talk to some of you if I knew who was who from the forum.

Emily is 12 years old. I wrote a note and placed it in her pistol case when I gave her the most heart fealt gift I've ever given anyone. Only you guys can really appreciate how big of a deal this was for each of us. The note read....

1. You are my shooting buddy and I wanted you to have your very own gun.
2. Daddy won't always be around to protect you....but this revolver and the skills I teach you will.
3. I can't think of any other gift I can give you that you'll have your whole life and give to your daughter or grand-daughter. I love my girl!

Now this is what makes America such an awesome country!

Another fun day at the range. Nothing says fun like the AK-47 UnderFolder.

Kudos to you for being such a wise parent.

Thanks for sharing man, mine is only 2 but you better believe that daddy will be getting her one of those when she is old enough!

I cant wait until my daughter gets old enough to shoot. Whats a proper age ? Is 3 too young to shoot my model 20 glock ?
