If you need some brush-ups, get the Boy Scouts of America's "Rifle-Shooting" badge booklet from a co-operative Scout leader. Read it thoroughly, as it's critical that he understands ALL THE SAFETY RULES before he touches a weapon. So will you!<BR/><BR/>Go to a large gun retailer. He will need a small rifle, made for young'uns. Ideally, you'll find a .22cal bolt-action or single-shot for him. Use the iron sights, not a scope. Something like this: http://www.savagearms.com/cub.htm<BR/><BR/>The Shadow pellet rifle is likely too large for him--it's really made for adults, meaning that it will fit him when he's 14-15 or so.Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-1162508854256053522006-11-02T17:07:00.000-06:002006-11-02T17:07:00.000-06:00Well, then, Jay, I hope that the MTEA has a 'comba...Well, then, Jay, I hope that the MTEA has a 'combat-zone' premium-pay package arranged with MPS.<BR/><BR/>A friend of mine had a serious hangup about the CCW law. While I think that CCW should pass, I'm not likely to carry...but for the sake of the argument, I asked her 'if when we were downtown and she were being attacked and I was 10 yards away, whether she'd rather have me WITH or WITHOUT a gun.<BR/><BR/>She hated to admit her answer, and it took about 10 seconds of stammering...but my H&K became her friend.Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-1162504570662807492006-11-02T15:56:00.000-06:002006-11-02T15:56:00.000-06:00She doesn't believe in guns in school.She doesn't believe in guns in school.Jay Bullockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18303687624670151530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-1162485298100971492006-11-02T10:34:00.000-06:002006-11-02T10:34:00.000-06:00Yeah, anon.

In Wisconsin even legitimate self-defense is a criminal offense in some cases.<BR/><BR/>Guess I - like that teacher - would just have to "tolerate" being assaulted by a perverted thug because people like YOU don't think I have a right to defend myself.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, criminals will laugh at gun control laws that make it so much easier for them to rob, assault, rape and murder citizens.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913350782739004678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-1162480010196936552006-11-02T09:06:00.000-06:002006-11-02T09:06:00.000-06:00Yah, right.
