fly Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 As some of you may know I just bought my 8-year old son a new smoke pole and gave him his first deer knife. He loves hunting and is a great shot. Anyway I just got a text from his mom. She took him to cub scouts tonight and the den mother was asking the kids some safety questions... "Now kids, what do you do if someone breaks into your house?" Frank (my son) answers... "Get your dad's guns and shoot them." When the den mother said "no" he guessed again and said... "Then get the knives". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebeilgard Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 funny stuff, all but the part where the den mother says no. you need to have a talk with her. remind her that when seconds count, the police are only minutes away. your son had the right answer.

c_lou Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Sounds like a kid with some common sense and another adult trying to sissify our kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about doing just that Steve, but I have to remember that at 8 years old most of the boys in my sons pack have not been taught as my son has. I did hold an archery event for the group last fall (expected the usual 10 kids and over 20 showed up). It stressed me out! Most were very immature and constantly screwing around and not listening. I was so afraid one of them was going to get hurt I decided to limit the number for future events. A gun, bow, (or knife) in the hand of someone that does not know how to use it is a danger to him/her self. It's unfortunate that proper gun use and safety is not taught to kids today. Although the school we hold scouts in would never condone a gun safety class, I was able to instruct them on safely using a knife and bow. They were very hesitant about me bringing in a bow, but since it's a private school and I'm on the school board it was permitted. I've never seen a scout book that teaches gun safety which is too bad in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
