Okay I took a 3 day safety course. This didnt teach me how to make it so a gun would never go off. This did not teach me how to be invincible. All the course teaches is to minimize accidents (WHICH DO HAPPEN WITH EVERYBODY!) and make sure no harm happens when accidents occur.

Any parent who send their kid in with a gun alone (some cases withstanding...) is a fool anyways. But hey, I cant think of to many better times then bein in the field with my dad, shooting side by side (not the gun but in person) at a flock of approaching ducks.

Now I am finally entering deer hunting. I know that if it wasnt for my dad scolding me at some points, and acting normal in others, that i wouldnt be ready for this.

Parents who are to uptight ruin the adventure of a hunting or fishing trip. Parents who are to lax seem to ruin it to. Just have fun and be safe.
