Do you buy guns just for your kids?

[Copper]

Yep, the boys are both half way to double digit numbers on the long guns and my daughter is looking forward to a .22 pistol so she doesn't have to stand around and wait while we shoot our hand cannons. All my kids got their first guns at 8, when they are proficient with that one they get to choose another and so on.

i bought a used Mossberg 46B tube fed .22 rifle for my daughter when she was 10. then i bought her a 20 ga semi auto shotgun which she uses to shoot trap with me once a week.

she also has a Daisy 499 BB gun which she shoot every Monday night for 4-position BB gun. she has just been classified Expert on the BB gun by the NRA. i am setting her up to get the Distinguished Expert classification and i hope she can get it. she is 11.

Been looking into a pink Mossberg Plinkster for my daughter.

Was checkin a couple shops today (for me lol) and almost left with a pink camo Thompson Center Hotshot for my daughter. Dang shame she is only 2 1/2. I'll have to beat grandpa to it though.

If and when she shows interest, she WILL have her own. Just like I did with momma.

Yup, he has a Savage MarkII Bolt and i just put money down ona a sr22 for mainly him and possibly the wife to use.
here is his Thank you note when he was 8 and i bought him the savage.

Junkie, thats to much!
I bet you keep that letter as long, if not longer the he has that gun.

Yup, I have it either on the little safes door with his drawings or packed away from the move but it will never go in the trash.

My son's only 4 months old but someday all of mine will be his.

 

[Tankfixr]

I have never bought a firearm for my children as they are grown and pick and choose among mine. I bought a Bersa .380 for the Mrs. since she stands at a towering five foot nothing.

My grandson will get broke in with a youth model of some type as soon as he develops the reach.

im gonna put a 22conversion on one of my AR lowers for my daughter when she is old enough

 

[ridethemessiah]

just thought about something. what would the liberal media make of a thread called "do you buy guns just for your kids" lol. of course we all know what the op means. but the media would chalk him up to some mass murder/suicide cult leader.

oh, and i dont have kids, but sure i would buy guns just for them. it's more productive than playing whatever playstation console is issued at that time.

Looking to get my little one a cricket .22lr and keep it in the safe until she's old enough to handle it.

I don't know about that I got the ideas for the final look for my AR15 from playing COD MW3. So I think having good weapon safety practicies combined with the video game may actually be beneficial.

i agree, a good balance is necessary. I used to play SOCOM 12 hours a day lol. that's excessive.

 

[Blu Falcon]

I built a 22LR upper for my son on an AR-15 platform. He really enjoys shooting it, but I think I will ultimately buy him a dedicated rifle he can call his own.

 

[Schwabe]

bought a Marlin 795 and a Walther P22 for my kids, as well as several BB guns.

 

[Mooseman]

I have no kids. I have bought rifles just for other peoples kids.

 

[thequietman]

Looking to get my little one a cricket .22lr and keep it in the safe until she's old enough to handle it.

I was wondering how long before someone mentioned a Crickett. My daughter has one

 

[CEK]

-Savage Cub 22lr
-H&R Youth 410
-H&R Youth 410/22 lr
-M1 Carbine for 8 yr old
-6.8SPC M4 10 yr old and wife use it for deer hunting
-5 different bb guns

 

[psycosteve]

Still waiting for the right one to have the kid with to eventually buy the gun for . I will most likely wait for my nephew to turn 8 and uncle Steve might show up with a either a 10/22 or a bolt action .22 if my sister approves. I know his dad (my brother in law )would be down but my sis can get real nasty at times . Might want to wait for my MD CCP before I try . LOL
