Don’t shoot your eye out!

Let me start this by saying, I did not buy these guns. My husband did not buy these guns. These were Christmas gifts from my husband’s parents. So, if you want to go off on someone for putting a gun in the hands of a four year old, go off on them.

But, it came with safety glasses.


And they have been told not to point to gun at people.

And daddy covers eyes when there isn’t enough glasses to go around.

And if you kick your foot out to the left, you are more likely to hit the target.

And when Boo was tired of shooting a pink gun, he called Papaw to bring him his gun. That was to remain at Papaw’s house and some how weaseled its way to our house.

And yes, this is the same day. She had a wardrobe change mid-shooting session. Doesn’t everybody?

And yes, it is March in Indiana and he doesn’t have a shirt on. Can’t fix stu…I mean it was a warm day.

Really, he was shooting downhill.

 Can you tell she has hit the target a few times?

Notice the shoes. Obviously she has been watching too much Real Housewives of Orange County and thought heels were appropriate foot wear for shooting. Thank Peggy.

So what dangerous things are your kids, neighbor kids, or friend’s kids doing this week?

  1. Don't feel bad. My husband was just saying the other day that he can't wait to buy our son his first gun. and I'm sure if he gets one, my daughter is going to get one too and if she gets one, I sure hope it's a pretty pink one! :)

    I am sure there are a lot of people who have stuff to say about this, but holy, aren't bb guns so fun!? I never had one but my cousins did, and we loved it. I think the fact that you are teaching them safety, you are doing the best thing possible for them :) Stopped over from FTLOB, have a good one!

    These are great! Brings back memories of my dad teaching me to shoot a BB Gun with empty soda cans as targets! So sweet… I know I'll be holding my breath when mine get one of their own, for now, I'm content with the cap guns! :)

  4. This is great! We get some sort of weapon at every holiday!
    Seriously I think letting them get hands on experience now with adult supervision helps develope a healthy sense of respect for how dangorous guns are and if they get to handle them and learn how to right they don't have a desire to sneak later and do it!

  5. Pink Princess shoes are always right for the occasion! Love these pictures (and your commentary..lol)

  6. My brother and I had a little .22 when we were kids. It was old, wooden and beautiful. I'm sure if one of us every has kids, our kids will have a beautiful, old, wooden .22.

    This type of thing is par for the course at my house. My husband is a competitive shooter and teaches shooting for government agencies, so that is just how things are here! My son has been hunting since he was a small child and now my daughter is getting interested. She will be like your daughter, and wear her heels for the occasion.
