8 year old shoots a .357 Magnum

It's a 1972 Ruger Security Six .357 Magnum I bought for $175! It is in fantastic condition for it's age. My son, Gabriel is only shooting .38 on this occasion.

Thank you MissNisha2006. One of the more articulate posts favoring the safe use and teaching of firearms to our children. I look at it this way; If I had a swimming pool, would I try to keep it locked up? Would I try to hide it and keep it secret from my kids and their friends? No, of course not. I would spend time and money teaching them how to swim. I Would tell them about the dangers of swimming pools and death by drowning. I would be close by the pool, or I'd be swimming with them!

Explain what you mean.

why didnt you show him how to stand correclty :P? he coulda fell on his but

[RobertPaulDoran]

@15legit15

I did. But he was too small and the gun was too heavy. So he was leaning back funny. Does it look to you like he fell on his butt?

gosh so young. he could probably turn the gun on you as a joke and accidently shoot you.

@SolidPRAWN

You obviously don't have children that you've taught how to shoot. Do you?

[LavaMountainKat]

That was rude, i see nothing wrong with this video.

[MissNisha2006]

I feel that this dad is doing a good job, and all of you parents that have guns in the home should do the same. If you never show a child the damage weapons can do, then they will try to teach themselves. I plan on having guns in my home and I plan on doing things like this to teach my children. Just look at it like this, if you don't teach your children want you want them to know, someone else will teach them what they want them to know.

Way to go little man, and good job dad.

@Luskcreek1 You are a douche bag

Starting them out young, also prepares them for military service.

This is definitely a good idea, though some will ignorantly criticize it. Even if you do not have a gun in your house, your kid's friend's parents might. Teaching them at a young age that guns are not toys, to not play with them, and how to properly use them safely may actually end up saving lives. It depends on how mature the kid is, but many of your grand or great-grandparents probably handled guns at that age, too. My grandfather went hunting at that age & they used to allow guns at school.
