Kid definitely has a brass set. I'll give him that. Hopefully if there's a gun in the house just for future use he should get properly trained on using it, assuming he hasn't yet.

Little concerned about gun safety and 12 yr olds.

Hopefully that kid gets a lot of help. He's going to need it. That's a lot to swallow for a 12-year old boy.
