She should damn well be able to shoot an UZI says range operator where the negligent shooting of an instructor took place:
The derp starts at around 3:14. First off, 8 year old girls and 8 year old boys range in sizes. I have no doubt some 8 year old girls weigh more than I do, but if were talking average I think it’s safe to say they are pretty small.
The 8 year old girl is so mature she had a “bucket list”. What’s her dad’s ARFCOM username? I want to check his post count.
The owner of the range does have a point though that this is definitely an isolated incident, and problems like this basically never happen.
Seems to me like the bottom line here is that not letting kids shoot guns would probably take a significant chunk out of his income. If a kid dies every decade or an instructor takes a bullet every now and then, it’s all part of the risk.
I don’t really know what the answer is here. I do think semi-auto is exciting enough for inexperienced kids who are just getting introduced to shooting. If your kid is learning to drive, first thing do you rent or buy them a supercar? Even if was affordable for you, probably not a good idea.
Thoughts?
