“We need to start arming our daughters when they reach 18, teach them to shoot and learn firearm safety. Kill the damn bastards in self-defense.”
I trained all of my children to use firearms at age 12. Prior to that, they all had several years of following me to the range to absorb the very serious lessons on safety. My daughter regularly beats me in target practice, and I have no problem with that. There is no remorse in our household for the termination of anyone posing a threat. I would be extremely angry at anyone that would endanger my family, and therefore require me to stop them by any means necessary, but I would do it without regret.
I taught my daughter to shoot when she was 10. When she turned 16 I taught her tactical shooting. When she was 21 I got her a 357 magnum and a carry permit. Then I taught her to kill using other weapons besides a firearm. Now it's all going down the tubes because she's moving to New York City this summer. She's a rising star in the fashion industry (management not model -- but she could) and that's where the action is and the money. So I'm sad and I'm worried.
