[QUOTE="LtCCMPUnit42, post: 1020185, member: 10431"] My son is 14 months, and I bought his first rifle for him about 3 months before he was born. I bought him a Rossi single shot .22/.410 convertable that has a keyed hammer lock. I can lock the hammer w/the key while I am teaching him to safely handle his firearm and I don't have to worry about even the remote chance that he can load/fire it without me having full control. Have started letting him fire .22 blanks and beginning to teach him proper shooting posture even though his little arms are not long enough for the stock yet. Safety, safety, and more safety. I am teaching him not to point even his nerf guns at poeple and to always keep his muzzle in a safe direction. (he gives the wife's cat hell w/his nerf gun though, gets me and him both in trouble) [/QUOTE]
