Having been a child during the Vietnam War and the product of a 'hippie' guns are not one of my favorite things. CJ does not have any of these issues and therefore has always been interested in guns. When he was little and attended Mom's Day Out, it amazed me and the other moms that a bunch of 2-3 year old boys could find 'guns' in a church playroom. They made them from Lego's, from dolls and from paper. As CJ has gotten older the guns have progressed from Nerf to Airsoft. He has always been very careful and respectful of his guns so when he asked to attend a .22 handgun camp I said yes. Better that he is taught the proper way to handle a gun than he figure it out on his own, right?
So off to camp he went. One of his friends attended as well, enjoying both the camp and each other's company. Needless to say they both had a great time. They spent 2.5 hours in the classroom learning and then 2 hours on the range. There still won't be a gun in this house, but maybe camp again next year.
The "hippie" really likes his tie dye shirt.
