JP: Actually, 12 Ga. kick is not too bad, at least as long as you're not shooting deer slugs. You will want to get used to firing it, so I would suggest some range time, or if you have a friend or relative out away from the urban area who has at least a few acres, maybe try that. A Saturday morning spent plinking at coke bottles and cardboard targets will be much more education than anyone can give you online. As far as safety training is concerned - I would highly recommend a standard Hunter Education Class. Any reputable gunshop should be able to point you in the right direction. This would be good for you and your teens. In hardly no time, you could become "armed and dangerous safe!"
