I worked 1 summer at Camp Parsons between my Jr and Sr year. Got a lot of badges from working there. I was on the beachcrew as a lifeguard. So yes, I totally hear ya. Now here's the kicker. The firing range instructor, did he have anything hiding in the shed? Like automatics? The guy who was our firing range duder had a several automatics that he'd let us fire off during the transition time of scouts.

I don't know if I would be happy with my son learning how to fire a gun. I don't even know if there is a need to it. And parents get affraid to left childrens play with some PC games, playstation games, watching MATRIX and some other movies, or even playing with G.I. Joes... I think weapons aren't for kids. Not even for adulpts. Sorry to be the dumbass here, but it is what I think about this matter. __________________ ADSUMUS

I've fired M-1's, M-4's, 5-7's pistol, this assult rifle that fires 7.62 rounds, magnum, 8 and 12 gauge shot guns, an atuomatic .22, and so many others. I used to go with my father all the time! I'm an exellent marksman. I've held so many other guns that the U.S. military uses. The Shooting range is so much fun. But I still like paintballing. People sometimes call me a gun feak. I don't get mad. __________________ Rangers lead the Way!

they use them for a merit badge, though i see no point in it. besides, most kids who will shoot these guns have none at home.
