wtf? what kind of parent would give their child a GUN?

I got a rifle when I was 14 for getting into a private high school. My Dad said if I did well on the entrance exam, he'd buy me the gun. I scored in the 99th percentile. 😉

[edit] Guess I am assisting in raising the dead! Who reads threads back that far??

That is an awesome pistol, congrats!

i don't know much about guns either.. i've only been shooting once, and i have a whole new respect for guns.. not that i didnt' have any before.. i would love to own a few handguns, but i dont' think i know enough about them to properly teach my sons and daughter about them and how to be safe... i mean sure, i can say "these are dangerous, don't touch!" but that never works.. and my oldest is obsessed with guns now at 2 years old.. he picks up whatever water gun he can find and goes "pqew pqew.. i kill you"... definately something his dad, or tv his dad let's him watch must have taught him (i'm his step dad).. i'd be more than happy to take my kids to a gun saftey course.. how old do kids have to be to go to such courses? what do you parents with young kids do to teach your kids?

Not yet sure what I will do when I have children, but I was taught to respect a gun. I was started with bb guns at age 10 or so. Simple things such as:

"never point a gun at anything you do not intend to kill"
"always assume a gun is loaded"
"never look down the barrel of a gun"

If a child becomes stupid and shoots a songbird just for practice, make that kid clean that bird and eat it for dinner.

Teach the distinction between adult possessions and child playtoys. My father had rifles on the wall and a loaded pistol on the shelf in the closet. My brothers and I never touched these. I do not understand why so many children play with guns.

I was told stories (I now doubt their truth, but they worked) such as not playing swords with sticks because my grandparent's neighbors were playing and one put the other's eye out with the stick. I still imagine an eyeball on the end of a stick and the horror that must have been felt.

I was told one of the rifles on the wall was so powerful that it nearly broke my father's shoulder when he shot it once, that it left his shoulder immobile and heavily bruised, and that he never shot it again afterwards.

My birthday is the first of August. My dad is going to be out of town then, so he called and invited me and my wife out to dinner last night. He said he wanted to go ahead and give me my gift. It was a Glock .40 :Q He knew I had been looking at getting a pistol for target shooting, home defense etc.. Kinda shocked me, cause these are pretty expensive right?


Hmm, wonder what he is trying to tell me?:shocked:

he wasn't trying to tell you anything except that he knew you were looking to buy a pistol.
so he bought one for you.

haha. true that.

I can't say. What kind of interpretations can you think of? My own dad was different. He would never consider allowing a gun of any kind in the house. Well, I had a BB gun, or rather inherited it from my brother. You cock it, it fires BB's. Yeah, you could put an eye out but other than that it was pretty harmless.

My dad fought in WW II, was a medic and must have helped treat an endless stream of gunshot victims in Burma. He'd never have considered having a gun. I was thinking about it the other day - to my knowledge I've never lived in a house in which there was a gun, never even visited a house in which there was a gun. I often ask myself after watching a movie, "were there any guns in that?" "Were there any lethal weapons at all?" It seems to me there are in far too many movies. I never watch that kind of TV, so I don't have to ask those questions about that. Except the news, but that's different. Most of the time when I hear on the news (or read about it in the paper) that cops shot a person I think to myself that they could probably have resolved the situation without the shooting.

Ever here the song "Gun" by John Cale?

Me and my partner we work on the run
The quick try to get quicker
And the creepers get hung
Now it's you that got wasted tonight on the job
One lost his liquor
And the other lost his hand

Ten sticky thumb prints on the door and the sink
But nothin' saw nothin' - just smell the stink
Five hundred mugshots and a hundred to one
Four forgotten and the rest just won't come

When you've begun to think like a gun
The rest of the year has already gone
When you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have suddenly gone





(Well) blood on the windows and blood on the walls
Blood on the ceiling and down in the halls
And the papers keep downing on everything I burned
And the people getting restless but they'll never learn

I picked up a doctor - he's good with a knife
Says anaesthetic's a waste of his time
Works in a hurry but always worthwhile
Knows they won't be back for a long long time

Top of the staircase was ready to fall
We were still waiting downstairs in the hall
Watch out for big mama, she'll set you on fire
Or go for your neck with the chicken wire

When you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have suddenly gone
Once you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have already gone

Mother of plenty, mother of none
You've got me cornered and still on the run
I don't care nothing about you anyway
Stuck in this hole I'm on my way

Yeah when you've begun to live like a gun
The days of the year have already gone
When you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have suddenly gone
