Oldest Grandson shooting my Garand when he was 9. He turned 18 back in June. We recently had a very serious talk about war and the draft and possibly having to serve under our dangerously usurped government. Scary having a real conversation with him about what a concientous objector declaration could entail. If forced to enlist to have choices instead of being jihad fodder and such. He is a brilliant guy, but fighting the snowflake influences around his peer group.

I introduced my grandson to the M1 Garand at the Ada gunshow this past weekend. I didn't buy one, just let him hold one. I tried to explain to him the loading process and the danger of it. Surprisingly, he already knew how and was well aware of the "Garand thumb."
