[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 448281, member: 84"] :rofl: Too true Janet. I grew up around guns, sort of. My mom hated, no make that loathed the things, but my biodad's family lived by them. You'd have to know the family background to understand why this is so. But all family reunions on biodad's side consisted of extensive target practice, grandchildren included. Everyone shot except my Mom. I shot my first pistol with my biodad's help when I was 5 yrs old. He was pretty impressed as I managed to hit the target, repeatedly. He told me to point and shoot, which is what I did. lol But we all had a healthy respect for what they were capable of doing. You watch bullets shred a target or kill an animal and you're less prone to want to point it at another person without good reason. Of course there are always exceptions. But that side of my family is also full of difficult children.....and not one of them ever got into trouble with a gun, except one nephew who happens to be one of those exceptions. We've never kept guns in the house because Travis I knew wouldn't be able to keep his hands off of them as a child. sister in law and easy child have always had guns in the house locked in the gun safe. sister in law likes to target practice, he's trying to find someone to learn to hunt with this season. He grew up with guns. It's just something you have to him. Darrin has a healthy respect for guns and would never dream of touching one without his dad around to supervise. Brandon and Conner don't as yet even know they exist. [/QUOTE]
