Shield 9, lcp, m&p 22 (the original full-size made by Walther)

All on top of grandfather clock. Most there with kids who are both over 13 now.

When mine were probably 9 & 10’ish - I pullled out a several rifles, shotguns and handguns, spread them out and let them handle/touch any and ask any questions. Daughter wasn’t interested but the boy (who has several of his own now) was giddy. I think this took the mystery/curiosity out of them. The boy is an avid hunter and the girl went out with me today and shot several mags from the 22 and 9mm. I’m going to use this downtime to get her more familiar with different weapons.

She may need them when I’m not around.
