I have a daughter, a step-daughter, and a stepson. The stepson is special needs; I will never be teaching him to shoot a real gun, will only be able to teach him that real guns are dangerous. My two daughters, however, I plan to teach to shoot. They are 11 and 12. I have just started to teach them about gun safety, and let them see some of my guns (but not the handguns, or where I keep them). I want them to have a healthy respect for guns and know about gun safety before we start leaving them home alone for any length of time.
I can't remember exactly how old we were when my dad and my uncles started teaching me and my cousins to shoot. Anyone know what most range policies are on kids? And how old were you when you learned to shoot, or how old were your kids when you started teaching them?
