If it was an "accident"...WTF are they doing LOADING a rifle in the house...????
If they family gave a ten-year old a rifle (nuttin wrong wit dat.. I had my first 22 at 5)...wtf are they not locking up the ammo for??

Had my rifle at 5, first thing my old man taught me was safety, then cleaning, then safety.....only time I ever saw ammo was when we went to the dump (Northern Minnasotaese for "shooting range"....rats were Northern Minnasotaese for "targets".....).

Even though I had a magazine, I got one round "issued" to me at a time. That way I got to learn to make every shot count (though it looks like this kid DID do that), learned range safety: the drill was; set up, clear weapons and range, go downrange a mount targets, go back to shooting position, clear range, load, shoot one shot, clear weapons and range, tramp back down to targets, evaluate, tramp back to shooting position, clear range, ...yada, yada yada...

I learned to shoot well and safety, otherwise my old man would get pissed if I started to waste shots and pack us up and go home. My uncle once grabbed a new Bennelli Citation shotgun from some a-hole that didn't have any "muzzle awareness" and was wandering around pointing it at everybody. When he protested that it wasn't loaded, my uncle grabbed it from him, popped it open, and out flew a live round...that nice Bennelli went into the lake and they threw the guy out of the shooting club.....

Needless to say, that kind of stuff made an impression on me.....

Why did they throw the shotgun in the lake? Goddamn redneck assholes....

WERD!!!

a-hole in lake, Bennelli goes home with uncle. Everyone's happy

Uncle was 6'9", 260 lb...only time I ever saw him get mad..........guess he wanted to make a point.

Be nice. This isn't far from home for me. I dated a guy from Big Prairie.

Just goes to show that caliber doesn't matter, but shot placement does.

Damn. I really hope it wasn't intentional.

The point that he doesn't appreciate quality fire arms?

Nothing to do with location, every state has some... :lol:

Nope...just had it poked in his face THREE times after he told the clown to be careful.....when he popped a live round out after the idiot told him it wasn't loaded...he just LOST IT...you ever do that?

[Avatard]

Damn. I really hope it wasn't intentional.

He was pissed that his mom had asked him to do a chore.

Meanwhile, another ten year old is making important scientific discoveries:

Girl, 10, becomes youngest to discover supernova (http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/01/04/girl-10-becomes-youngest-to-discover-supernova/?hpt=T2)

What did you do on your winter vacation?

Girl: I discovered a Supernova!

Boy: I shot my mom dead, because she asked me to do a chore.

I know. I was just giving you a hard time.

Guess there was a lot going on in this household from what I hear.

Bad training. I've taught kids younger than that to shoot .22LR and had zero problems. You watch them closely, and don't cut them any slack.
