Shooting can be a great hobby but training should be obtained before setting out.
Concur 100%. The local arms emporium offers just such a class in weapons safety. The second aspect is a 13 year old who is a far more avid sportsman than I am who has been eager to learn as well. I just signed us both up so we'll learn together. Bonding, and all that.

I wonder if this was the inspiration behind the latest mindfart in the TSA Blog: Can I Take My Hand Grenade on the Plane?

This is clearly a real weapon. Well, it is in the same world where 4 oz of liquid can blow up a plane, anyway.
