For his 12th birthday, he wanted to go to a shooting range. We rented a glock 9mm and he shot off 50 shots. Afterwards he said he couldn't wait to tell other kids at school. I said since we are in NH and not MA, there will be other kids who have been to the shooting range. He replied, "You'd be surprised." He then said he wanted to show other kids the proper way to hold a pistol, demonstrating with a "bang". I told him to explain it before just doing that. He then asked why schools are so weird about guns. I explained it's for government schools to train kids to be in favor of outlawing guns when they are older.

His reply was unforgettable:
"Then it's important for every kid to go to the shooting range."
