Where is my thread?

He looks like he's having a ball. Good for you to have included him from such a young age. To many youngsters just don't have such enviable options.

I have a six year old grandson that is getting a good introduction to handling firearms as well. He knows how it feels to be looked down on because of his age. In some cases it is a good thing but some people carry their disdain to far. Most just encourage him. Your son will have a great basis to look back on and maybe even be in a position to carry on the tradition.
This fall, at one of the local gun shows, he came along to help. While he was at the show, I introduced him to several exhibitors and he learned the importance of shaking hands. At first he was shy and thought I was teaching him something wrong. Public school brainwashing about touching people. I was grateful that the adults there were so accommodating. His self esteem went up in feet, not inches and he beamed out a sunny smile much like the one on your son's face. It's good for them to get used to the public without shyness or fear but still show respect.

Well done to both of you.
