Dad starts his kid out a bit early

Sorry but that it far too early. That guy needs a smack. I could see libtards having a field day with something like that. How could you even think about teaching someone to shoot that is incapable of being taught proper safety.

It's his son, not yours. Let him be a father to his kid, there isn't enough of that in this country today.

I have a hard and fast rule, if I am unable teach someone how to safely handle a firearm or they are incapable of learning the safety rules I refuse to instruct them on how to operate a firearm for the purposes of firing that firearm. That toddler is probably incapable of controlling his own body functions let alone capable enough to comprehend basic firearms safety. Would you feel comfortable teaching a toddler that old how to use the stove or operate a power tool such as a circular saw? It is literally that level of stupid bordering on child endangerment. He is an idiot.

He is an idiot.

 

It's not my son, so I don't feel the need to tell someone else how to raise their children. Is he teaching him how to roll a joint? No Is he teaching him how to hot wire a car? No Is he teaching him how to smoke crack? No

 

It's none of your business since he isn't asking you to train his child, so it's a parent's right.

The kid wasn't terrified, the father was in control of the gun the whole time, all's well that ends well.

Eye protection would have been a nice touch.

 

Personally that is not something I would go for but the kid seems safe , father seems in control. Free country as long as he is not putting his kid in imminent danger nothing to say or see here , move along.

 

What is he shooting?

All those things listed are supposed to be kept away from small children or child proofed . A child is no more dangerous with a power drill because someone showed him how it works. Showing him how it works adds zero danger . If he picks it up he will probably get hurt whether he has been shown how to drill holes or not.

 

My own reasons for not letting a child that age handle a handgun like that is because of the cloud of lead he is inhaling and getting on his hands. I started my daughter recently at age 5 ..if I tell her not to touch her face or put her fingers in her mouth because they are dirty from shooting the gun , she won't until she is washed up . A kid that size mouths everything every chance they get usually before you can stop them.

 

But again..not my kid . I see idiot parents doing FAR worse stuff all the time . I keep my mouth shut unless it is a friend or family member. Then it is usually just a suggestion in case they were not aware of the issue.

He's shooting a .22, Dad is in control of the firearm the whole time, son is just getting a kick out of pulling the trigger.

 

I have no issues with this, when that kid is 15 he will probably be a world class grand master. I wish I had started young.

All our kids started out at 4-5 years old with 22 rimfire, chipmunk bolt action.. great teaching gun as you can also use shorts, no recoil at all and no noise to startle the shooter..

as you teach them to shoot you can go over the safety rules with every shot when using a single shot bolt action..

both my boys hunt and when we go pheasant hunting and we jump a bird after it is retrieved i still ask if all safetys are on..they are 23 and 25 this year..old habits are hard to break...

sounded like mom was hit by a hot case while filming
