What's your point? One child is one child. There are also children who die while shooting under adult supervision or accidentally kill someone while shooting under supervision. It is beyond stupid for the woman to be shooting and not closely watching the girl, ready to stop her from doing something dangerous.

My point is, education, and knowledge. Nothing more, or less. The more our youth know about the dangers and responsibility of firearms, the reproductions of running with gangs, using drugs, etc...the better off we will be.

Make sure you lock up your pool with a locking hard case unless you are using it. Wear a locking chastity belt and hide the key unless you willingly want to have sex to avoid being raped.

Some laws are just blatantly stupid. You cannot control what people do in their own homes but some of you think you can.

New Jersey law says you have to have a gun safe. When you go to buy a firearm the form asks about what safe you have. After about 15 seconds of a blank look from the buyer the FFL will blurt out what the most common model gun safe is. That law has some real teeth!

Cheap gun safes are useless. Expensive gun safes, are well, expensive.

All a safe does is buy time. That's it. A cheap safe might buy you 5 minutes, a more expensive safe might buy you an hour. During that time, there is a chance the bad guy can get caught. The longer the time, the higher the chances. More expensive safes also offer fire protection. For protecting firearms against kids, a cheapish safe is fine.

The safe buys time for the criminal if they invade your home.

Well, A, B, and C.

A: "WOW, where did you learn to shoot like that?" Another officer asked me when we shot on a rolling deck. Three years on JROTC rifle team. If one starts young and keeps at it, they are probably better at it. Why I'm so deadly at judo....started when I was 10.

B: I shoot better on my weak hand for pistol than my strong hand. Why? No established theory but I believe it is because my weak hand has not gone through all the stresses of life that my strong hand has. Same thing here, maybe, when the hostess says "maybe shoots better than her".

C: Realize that there are different styles of shooting. I am one for taking relatives, including my step nephew, nieces to the range, but would probably keep them, the young, to firing a Ruger .22 than my -15...and certainly not my Uzi or -10. Mind you, they don't or didn't for this was over a decade ago live on a ranch which would be a different set of parameters.

Which throws another rock into it in that these days, I shoot only professionally; the concept of "fun" has long since moved out of the equation. I am fine with my youthful relatives seeing me shoot like that but I am not sure if I would teach them to shoot like that. For if in anything else, I have the credentials to back me of why I shoot like that.

I didn't watch the full video but as it was being filmed, it is not unreasonable to assume that there is a safety officer "on the set" but off the camera.

Did you feel this way when that 6 year old kid took his mom's gun and shot his teacher? You thought that was just fine that the gun was completely accessible to him?
