In reply to the discussion: The NRA advocates for 10 year olds to own assault rifles. End the NRA. [View all]KrisposKid was very nervous going out... big deal, right?
I didn't try to scare him by exaggerating the kick or noise or anything like that, but he was still nervous.
But once he felt the little bump of recoil and heard the mildness of the report, he eventually relaxed and had a good time.
He even tried out my 9mm pistol (one shot on the mag for the first time) and enjoyed that as well.
I know some assholes like to have their kids or girlfriends shoot a .44 mag for their first time, because watching somebody get a face full of recoiling revolver is "fun".
I am not one of them.
