You proved the correct use of a firearm is a perfect means to instill trust, responsibility, and discipline into a young man. I’ve experienced it, myself.

And, as he grew up in a Twin Cities suburb, my son talked up the fun he was having with the rifle to his buds...
I had three or four kids come over on Saturday to "shoot the gun," and their dads came too. And I may has irritated a few families by offering to take the whole gang to the gun shows held at the Fairgrounds, north of St. Paul. We did this anyway, and I discovered the dads loved the idea...some had just a faint connection to firearms and after a morning looking at 150 tables, they were hooked. I felt like Johnny Appleseed...
