[QUOTE="BrownBrokeDown, post: 1402692, member: 46824"] I am also pro-gun, and you are 100% correct. My daughter under my supervision at 11 yrs old, just shot her first gun the other day. Trust me, it was nothing like what happened there. I am in the process of convincing her mother to let her "baby" go with me while i go hunting. Notice how I said that. "Go with me while I am hunting". I don't forsee much game being brought in just like the first few times i went with my Dad. It will not be so much about me hunting but instructing her and letting her observe proper gun etiquette. AT NO POINT WOULD SHE EVER BE AN INEXPERIENCED GUN HANDLER AND AT HER YOU AGE HAVE ACCESS TO A SEMI-AUTOMATIC. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR IT UNTIL SHE IS OLDER AND MORE EXPERIENCED. The reason why I brought my daughter up is the fact that I had to explain that situation to my wife. I had to explain that a trainer with lots of experience was dead through his own error and that I don't know any "Responsible" gun owner that would have put himself in that position. I don't want to speak badly of the dead, but there was so many bad decisions in that situation. Both me and my brother fired a gun for the first time when we were younger than that. We were never ALLOWED to create a situation like that. My first guns were a single shot .22 (the old fashioned bolt action that you also had to pull the back part back to cock, cant remember what its called right now) and a single shot 20 guage.
