28. What that father did was incredibly stupid.

Unfortunately, the father didn't pay the price.

I took my 14 year old shooting for the first time about 3 months ago. He's husky and turning into an adult.

I started him off with my .22 rifle, and there was exactly ONE round in the magazine the first few times he shot it.

Then there were 2, then 3, then the full 10.

No way in HELL would I have given him a 9mm full auto pistol. Uh uh!
