My half brother came out to visit again this summer. He was here last year about this time as well. The first weekend he was here we drove to Montana for Shawn's Great Grandma's 95th birthday party. What did Adam bring for entertaining reading in the car? A gun buyer magazine. A little surprised, as his parents don't have any guns and probably don't' discuss them with him, but he is an avid video game player. Knowing that he had only shot video game guns, I spoke with a friend and arranged for Adam to go shoot some real guns. Brian was gracious enough to take him up, let him shoot his guns and really teach him about safely handling guns.
Overall he went up 3 or 4 times and had a blast every time. He has now returned to his parents and discussed going shooting at gun ranges. I hope he will get involved with 4-H or see if his school has an FFA shooting club.
