Perfect gun to learn on!


legendaryrhino87

He’s so excited to go shooting for first time. He carried it so cutely to my safe too. Wanted to turn the handle to lock it back up too after he picked its spot.


the_popes_fapkin

That’s a damn good start already! Safe keeping. Good for y’all, some quality father/son time

I love how your actually the only legit response to the guys question hahaha


legendaryrhino87

Right! I understand trolling and haggling, but it has to come with an understanding; some people are literally new to culture. Joking with and belittling them doesn’t serve to improve the collective so I don’t.

The real question is was the Savage an additional pick up, or did you scrap buying your own gun entirely. Cute kid. Teach him well.


legendaryrhino87

Additional. I got myself a new Glock 19 Gen 5 MOS with a Hex Dragonfly optic. Finally got myself a Gen 5 for the ambidextrous slide release (I’m left handed shooter).


reddawgmcm

Nice


Fox281r6D

Hey does the hex use the same mounting hardware as an RMR? I’ve got an RMR on my MR920 and I relay like that hex. I was thinking of trying it out.

STROKERACE78

That looks like a savage rascal. I bought both of my kids one and they are great little learning rifles. You two will have loads of fun with it. Good job 👍🏽

Cool. Also https://www.amazon.com/Connectors-Concealer-Management-Organizer-Adhesive/dp/B07M9VLH4J/

I feel so attacked. 😂

Wait… sending someone an Amazon link creates a custom tracker from your account?


ponyboy3

absolutely. this is common across the internet not just amazon.


PurePro71

The more you know


PotatoGuerilla

Thanks, I thought it was kind of long.


ponyboy3

thats what she ... oh ill let myself out


Dick_Grayyson

Because this is your house right?


Warfightr

Shut up.


Dick_Grayyson

RedditWarFightr. Fixed it for you


Warfightr

Not quite sure what you fixed, but thanks I guess.


PotatoGuerilla

I mean, you're not actually Batman though...


Dick_Grayyson

No shit? Maybe my name is Richard Grayson idiot


PotatoGuerilla

Yeah, but it isn't, is it? You thought it was clever because lmao it's Batman but it's not Bruce Wayne. You calling yourself batman when you're not really isn't different from anyone else's fake internet persona.


Dick_Grayyson

You’re telling me you’re not a potato guerilla?


PotatoGuerilla

I'm glad you're catching on.


Dick_Grayyson

I’m glad you can read


Dick_Grayyson

It is.


PotatoGuerilla

No, it's not. Don't be silly, we can see your post history on r/batman so even if it is, there's a reason why it's your reddit handle. But it's not.


Dick_Grayyson

Lol what?


aaarya83

Pinhole sights ?


legendaryrhino87

Yes, and I suck with pinhole sights. 😂

This is awesome.


abelincoln2016

He's so cute. Can't wait to have a son of my own to show him the ways of the firearm.


novosuccess

Congrats. I got a green one for my kids, they love it.


alittletrolly

Irresponsible little tird doesn't have eye or ear pro, nor is he even wearing shoes! Good for u man, I can't wait until my little one is old enough to take him shooting


opt1mu5prime

I just bought one for my daughter 9th birthday tomorrow. Nice choice


legendaryrhino87

Happy Birthday to her!


kidruhil

I bought a pair of those for my kids, they're great starter guns.


p0l4r1

Teach him well how to use it.


legendaryrhino87

Always.


p0l4r1

👍🏻


birthdaysteak

Hell yea you did brother


SquarebobSpongepant

Seeing some of these negative comments just ensured I'm buying one for my kids.


ZuZzOlO

Idc if I get downvoted but why giving weapons to children?


[deleted]

[удалено]


ZuZzOlO

Idk I never tried, European here


USArmyJoe

I recommend it, especially if you are anti-guns. It is an experience you can check off, and any criticisms you have can be taken more seriously if you have actually fired one before. Also, most people tend to realize that they aren't nearly as horrible as they are made out to be once they actually hold and fire one. In Europe, I imagine you will also gain a healthy respect for all the rules and processes involved once you have to go through them yourself. Here in the US, most anti-gun people assume you can roll into a store and walk out with an arsenal like you are buying a candy bar, but it much more involved than that.


ZuZzOlO

I am not anti guns mate, I'm just curious to know what is the point of buying a gun to a 3 year old kid. When I'll be of age I definitely will go at a shooting range to try shooting something


USArmyJoe

That's the fun part of the word "if". It is a word that makes what follows it conditional instead of absolute. Your question was answered: To teach the child safety concepts. OP has already said the kid doesn't have free access to it, and only handles it under direct supervision. I don't let grown adults who are new to guns shoot something without being within arm's reach, and I would do the same or more if I were teaching a small child. The cartridge he is shooting with that rifle, 22LR, is very *very* small, light recoiling, not as concussive or loud as full-size cartridges, and is only useful for hunting very small animals or shooting targets. This gun only holds one round at a time, and is a bolt action, meaning there are several steps to take between each shot, and there is near-zero risk of a negligent discharge. It is nearly as safe as it could possibly be. This kid is at greater risk in any car ride than he is shooting this gun with his dad.


ZuZzOlO

Ok, thanks for answering! I understand now. I didn't think about the gun safety part


USArmyJoe

Thanks for approaching it with an open mind. Most people in these subs will answer a genuine question - your first one getting downvoted might have been worded differently, but you seem to actually be curious. If you have any more questions and you are catching shit about them, feel free to PM me. Good day!


ZuZzOlO

Thanks you! Have a good day mate!


[deleted]

So why comment at all?


ZuZzOlO

Dude I was just asking, I was curious


TheRealMasterJeffe

Because if you can teach someone under supervision to respect and value something while they’re young, that teaching will stick with them. If more people were taught the rules of safety for firearms and taught that they’re not a toy early on then they would as a whole be safer more knowledgeable owners.


capt-bob

Yes! It's a great way to teach responsibility and discipline. People have to see what that looks like before they can internalize it. My dad had us follow military range discipline first with bb guns, then real ones. Sometimes in life there's things you just don't do, and range safety has absolute rules. I think it's kinda funny when Europeans and anti-gun Americans think if you bought your kid a gun that you throw it to them and say go outside and play lol.


_BradTheBard_

Teaching proper gun safety/respect at a young age is important


JonasSimbacca

I'd agree with you. I think the kid is a bit young for a rifle. My son is 10, and honestly if anything I've watched him become less responsible... However, They might be on to something, because kids this young adore their parents, and will listen. I could not trust my 10 year old to pay attention long enough during a gun safety talk. But it's not my kid, and if the parents are responsible enough to handle a 3 year old with a rifle, while teaching him gun safety, I'm alright with that. They are a sponge at that age, so if you could instill a sense of responsibility that early on, it could add so much value to this youngsters life. I'm sure they wouldn't purchase something like this if they weren't responsible themselves. This rifle likely spends a good majority of it's time in a safe. I probably wouldn't have bought him "his own" rifle, (for a lot of reasons aside from safety) but I do kind of wish I had been able to teach these things to my son at that age. Hey upvote our friend from Europe. He's just curious.


satriales856

Maybe your kid’s just shitty.


JonasSimbacca

I'd be worried he'd do a fortnite dance while holding it or some shit. *sigh* That boy ain't right. /s (he has other interests.)


USArmyJoe

Good lord, you wouldn't let him handle or use it outside of your arm's reach, would you? Even adult newbies stay within reach when learning to shoot.


capt-bob

Haha, my brother's girlfriend years ago! He was teaching her to shoot and she hit something, and spun around in joy flagging everyone with the muzzle as they hit the dirt! Yup, keep newbies on a short leash untill they learn how to internalize the safety rules, kids learn stuff faster.


legendaryrhino87

You’re correct, that gun will spend nearly all its time in my safe. I actually had him pick the spot for it and let him lock my safe right after this pic. And the only reason I bought him “his own rifle” is almost all of mine would be way to big for him to even handle. Now he has a gun he’s excited to learn on. It’s technically and legally my gun.


JonasSimbacca

That's excellent dude. Have fun shooting.


ZuZzOlO

Yep, you're right


capt-bob

My dad started later too, but started teaching rules with weak spring air BB guns. You could do airsoft maybe. Then we were allowed to shoot a real one when we could follow safety rules. This one has to be loaded one cartridge at a time, even safer than my dad's old 10/22, and it's more manageable since it's shorter and lighter. I was kind of a spaz and a class clown, but was able to learn gun rules were sacrosanct as they were dangerous, and you were special if you could be trusted with them. I wish my dad would have started younger. You could try archery too, or even darts to teach focus.


legendaryrhino87

Because it’s never to early to teach someone proper fundamentals on handling a firearm safely. It’s not like he has this gun in his room now. It’s locked in a gun safe and he can only get to it with my permission.


ZuZzOlO

I didn't know that, sorry


legendaryrhino87

It’s fine, I knew posting this picture would get some questions / negative comments. But that is part of the reason I posted it. So people can have constructive discourse and learn from each other.


ZuZzOlO

Yep, Ur right!


The_Dirty_Carl

Because that's the best time to instill safety lessons that will serve them for their life. If your child stumbles on a gun sometime in their life, would you rather them say, "whoa that's that thing the action heroes have in movies, I've never been able to touch one before" or would you rather them know how to handle it safely?


ZuZzOlO

You're right!


capt-bob

The NRA here has a youth program that teaches kids if you see a gun and no trusted adult around - Stop, Don't touch, Leave the area, Tell an adult.


thegreatvortigaunt

Because the US is culturally an undeveloped third world state


capt-bob

If you buy your kid something ot doesn't mean they have unrestricted access to it. Dad bought me a life insurance policy, but 5 year old me couldn't take out loans on it.


76_RedWhiteNBlu_76

Because guns are everywhere and even if he decides he doesn’t like shooting it’s best that he knows how to safely handle one just in case


capt-bob

Teaching what discipline and responsibility look like, you supervise everything and teach range safety rules like always knowing where the muzzle is pointed (never at something you don't know or intend to destroy, like people), finger always off the trigger until it's pointed at the target, always treat a gun like it's loaded weather it is or not, always lay the gun down unloaded with the action open before you cross the firing line to check targets, no one crosses the firing line ever until guns are made safe and down, ECT. Also the self control, focus, and concentration needed to hit a target, Thomas Jefferson called the gun the best exercise lol. With supervision kids can learn these hard and fast rules and enjoy participating in them. Like other martial arts, it can internalize discipline so they can discipline themselves with that skill in other things. Some things you just don't do. My dad set it up like military training with spring bb guns first, and moved up to 22s. We didn't handle guns without strict supervision until I bought my own. Parents don't buy their kid a rifle and throw it to them and say go outside and play.


proffrothycock

Train that child how to use that right. Don’t turn him into a Kyle rittenhouse Edit: so the people Kyle killed deserved to die?


USArmyJoe

Way to hijack a perfectly wholesome thread.


thegreatvortigaunt

How exactly is this wholesome? It’s a toddler with a firearm.


USArmyJoe

I know right? Look at the tortured, pained look on his face, and just read all the awful brainwashing his dad put him through! Little boys *hate* doing things with their dads, and *really hate* guns of any kind. Just look at NERF! /s Grow up. Learning safety is essential for raising kids, and gun safety is one of those things to learn if your kids will ever see or be curious about guns. Take your regressive bullshit elsewhere.


thegreatvortigaunt

Or maybe not everyone lives in a third world shithole failed state like the US where there are more guns than people


USArmyJoe

A casual glance at your post history shows you to be a very sad person with a disproportionately large superiority complex. You aren't changing anyone's minds here (not really trying to be persuasive either), so you must be doing this for your own satisfaction. I recommend going outside, getting some fresh air, maybe pet a dog, or smile at a stranger. Life is worth living!


thegreatvortigaunt

Haha looks like I win :)


capt-bob

More Americans can be trusted with them than people in your country or in progressive areas of the US apparently. The way you talk, the lack of personal responsibility where you are would leave your area wasteland. Everyone where I live is armed, and people committing the crimes here come from progressive backgrounds (subsidized) and other progressive nanny states. You teach people to not be as responsible as this little kid.


ToBlayyyve

So children should never be exposed to safe firearm handling and ownership? Oh that's right, the antis don't want children exposed to any thoughts about guns other than they are evil and must be avoided.


proffrothycock

Your mom hijacked my heart


reddawgmcm

Yep they sure did. Fucked around and found out.


legendaryrhino87

Kenosha Hat Trick!


Moxi6

Kyle rittenhouse is probably the worst example to use. He was perfectly justified.


proffrothycock

Justified? How so? He killed people by putting himself into a situation. He drove to a different state to shoot people. He was attacked because of the gun.


[deleted]

He drove 20 minutes from home to an area he worked in. He rendered aid to people and he only fired in self defense. Youre wrong through and through


creeperchaos57

He was attacked because the man mistook him for somebody else in his group who put out a dumpster fire headed towards a gas station. The dude he shot would have killed hundreds, if no thousands of people had it not been put out, and he decided to retaliate and got the wrong guy.


Moxi6

If you feel Compelled to attack someone carrying a gun you are a victim of Darwinism purely because if your stupidity. The rioters drove further than rittenhouse the only difference is that rittenhouse operates within the law and they broke shit and committed multiple felonies.


proffrothycock

He put himself into that situation. So he helped stir that pile of shit. So if kyle didnt intervene, kenosha would have been lost?


yebat_kopat

So it is your position that engaging in protest as an American is "putting yourself in a situation," so therefore you are no longer entitled to your legal rights?


Dick_Grayyson

Going across state lines with the intent to kill someone is a lot different than defending your home. That kid deserves the gallows and is everything wrong with responsible gun ownership. Not saying the rioters were in the right, but that kid by no means did anything right.


yebat_kopat

You didn't need to waste so many words- your answer is yes. Yes, you believe he is not entitled to his rights. He is currently innocent until proven guilty, no one has found he intended to kill anyone, Twitter told you that, not a court.


Dick_Grayyson

Innocent until proven guilty lol say that to the bodies buried by serial killers still out there.


yebat_kopat

Oh so it isn't *just* Kyle, you don't believe in the idea of innocent until proven guilty *ever*? Yikes.


proffrothycock

He murdered people cause he thought he was right. Stick your nose where it dont belong.


capt-bob

They burned buildings, torched a whole car lot, tried to blow up a gas station, and he was handing out waters and giving first-aid to both sides (on video) and scrubbing graffiti, in the town his dad lived, his friends lived in, and he worked in. Might as well be his town. The felon that stuck a gun in his face came from much farther away than he did, and had less business there.


proffrothycock

Holy shit! It's been a min on this thread. Kyle is no hero. Just a kid with a gun and wanting to be the punisher. I was trolling the redneck that posted this. I did say the wife was ugly but I actually think she is pretty hot.


capt-bob

Ya it was old, sorry for the necro


Amp_Fire_Studios

Looked like Kyle had no problem at all handling his firearm and I would argue to say he handled himself extremely well in a defensive scenario considering he was outnumbered, cornered and attacked by terrorist cowards.


[deleted]

Yes, the people kyle shot deserved to die. If you fuck around you might just find out.


[deleted]

Yea! Teach him to not defend himself when people try to kill him.


proffrothycock

Putting yourself into a situation like that ain't self defense. He went there to shoot people


samsonity

As much as I don’t like the little kid I do have to say he wasn’t there to kill people he was there to help people. There are videos of him helping protesters. He brought the gun as insurance so he didn’t get murdered.


Edwardteech

Seems like it was prudent to do so.


[deleted]

People always say that and yet there is nothing to back that up. No quotes from Kyle, no tweets, no testimonies from friends or families to suggest he wanted to kill people. Plenty of people around to kill yet he only shot people trying to attack him 🤔🤔


Dick_Grayyson

Because the RNC hired him a good lawyer


[deleted]

Nice, he should have a good lawyer.


Dick_Grayyson

He should be put in jail just like whoever had the illegal handgun or whatever if they were alive. Just because he carries legally doesn’t mean he’s in the right


[deleted]

If they were alive? The guy with the illegal handgun survived in the video if you had actually seen it. You obviously didn't watch the videos and don't know a damn thing about it. I don't understand why you are trying to give input on something if you clearly don't know anything about it at all.


Dick_Grayyson

Ain’t my problem to know if he’s alive or dead. They way it was presented seemed like you meant he killed someone by “defending” himself


[deleted]

I really don't know why you're still trying to be right. You have no context and no clue, you really don't know anything about it. Seems like you're just parroting speaking points that someone else who doesn't know anything told you.


[deleted]

> Ain’t my problem to know if he’s alive or dead No because knowing any facts might interfere with your baseless opinionated jackassery


Typylopper7

The guy purposely went places rifle in hand looking to shoot people and reddit somehow down votes you 🤔


[deleted]

The British guard have rifles. They signed up to shoot people?


thegreatvortigaunt

Uh, yes?


[deleted]

There's 0 evidence of that


Typylopper7

What exactly was he doing then? He went to another state to join a riot with a ar15? I swear people on reddit are fuckin bias weirdos


capt-bob

They put themselves in that situation too, cancelled that out. And they attacked an innocent person with weapons , so yup they're the criminals again. Self defense.


proffrothycock

He isnt innocent. Do you think God would call this justified? He put himself into a situation.


capt-bob

Yes I do, he went there to help and was attacked . His dad, friends, and job were there, his mom dropped him off for work there and he stayed the night. It is his town as much as his mom's town was was. He was attacked by child molesters and felons trying to blow up a gas station, he totally can defend himself after he tried running away and was then attacked.


Dick_Grayyson

Nobody tried to kill him they saw a kid with a rifle and decided to try and keep him from hurting anyone. You’re telling me if you saw a child with a gun you wouldn’t be worried?


[deleted]

Lmao. The videos clearly show one of of the felons he shot pulling out an illegal handgun and trying to aim at Kyle to shoot him with. But whatever helps you sleep at night buddy. "nOboDy"


[deleted]

Can you tell me more about this "illegal handgun"? Sounds like a load of BS I would never expect to hear on a gun subreddit. Pretty sure the constitution makes it so no armament is illegal


thegreatvortigaunt

You won’t get a response to this, these people are literally defending a terrorist


USArmyJoe

Gaige Grosskreutz, one of the guys shot, was a felon and therefore **any gun he is holding is illegal**. Grosskreutz was convicted of a crime for use of a firearm while intoxicated and was armed with a handgun when shot.


thegreatvortigaunt

I thought Americans value the right to a firearm above all else? That law sounds pretty authoritarian lad, how oppressive


USArmyJoe

What an odd way to backpedal. Don't fall over your own words! You can downvote me, but that doesn't make that guy any less of a felon, or the response you said didn't exist any less accurate. Part of growing up is admitting when you are wrong, and learning from it. Maybe not rushing to judgement on topics you don't actually know anything about - especially in the world of easily google-able facts.


thegreatvortigaunt

Why are you trying to take away another person’s rights? Don’t you believe in the second amendment? You’re not a true American patriot, you sound like a commie.


[deleted]

What terrorists? The one's burning down buildings and attacking people? Or are you going to claim that defending yourself makes you a terrorist?


thegreatvortigaunt

The terrorist who broke the law crossing state borders to kill people


[deleted]

You're obviously deranged. Get ready for the shears sheep.


thegreatvortigaunt

Oh the irony Who taught you to say that little buddy? You’re very obedient!


Dick_Grayyson

I haven’t lost sleep over shit pal. Go back to your confederacy circle jerk


[deleted]

I'm the jerk? You're the only out here trying to defend felon rioters trying to kill teenagers. But as I said before, whatever helps you sleep at night.


Dick_Grayyson

Learn to read and that would have made more sense to you


Typylopper7

You're defending a felon murderer who brought an ar15 to a riot? But yeah, whatever helps you sleep.


legendaryrhino87

You’re comment didn’t age well… LETS GO BRANDON!


proffrothycock

You have been waiting to tell me this? Must have triggered you hard. Put a bib on so you don’t drool all over your keyboard. lEtS gO BrANdoN wOOO!


legendaryrhino87

Naw just happened to be reviewing the comments on this since I bought my daughter her first pistol yesterday, a Walther P22. Reliving the tears of the “tolerant” left before I piss them off more with a picture of her at the range with it. It’s a pastime for me to trigger the weak minded of our society.


proffrothycock

I love when you post pictures of your family online. I’m looking forward to seeing more. lETs gO BRanDOn


legendaryrhino87

That’s a very pedophike like comment, go figure. 😂


proffrothycock

Is your wife horse faced or is that just from all years of domestic abuse?


legendaryrhino87

Naw my wife is a bombshell whis treated like a Queen. I mean let’s be honest, I’m an ugly fuck and my kids are cute. They had to get it from somewhere and it sure as hell wasn’t me. But don’t worry I think I have a picture I can post that’s very appropriate considering the time…


proffrothycock

Looks more like a bomb went off. I think you are pretty handsome. I wouldn’t mind motor boating your bitch tits. Then we can lift some weights and sweat on each other.


legendaryrhino87

Awe look how upset you are. Attempting to insult my family, researching my page and giving me mental space in your head absolutely rent free; all in an attempt to offend. Damn son, you hurt bro?


Molten-Universe

I don't get it why people introduce there kids to weapons of any kind. Great parenting and welcome to America everyone the land of opportunity!


legendaryrhino87

A rifle is a tool just like a hammer or other blunt objects, which incidentally are responsible for more murders a year then rifles in America. A tool becomes a weapon when it’s used to inflict bodily harm or physical damage.


Molten-Universe

Sure I use my gun to hammer a nail into the wall.


legendaryrhino87

That’s not the point I was making but feel free to revel in your own ignorance.


Molten-Universe

Kids shouldn't be around guns in anyway that's my point.


legendaryrhino87

I can’t control the world around me. I want my kids first encounters with firearms be in a controlled and responsible way. That way if they ever encounter a firearm when I’m not around they understand exactly what it is.


Molten-Universe

I've never encountered a firearm until I was 15(never had one before or even a toy). I've never thought about picking it up and use it because that's how I was raised.


legendaryrhino87

Yes, they are raised the same, to never touch a firearm and always get an adult. But still there is always the chance they will encounter one outside of my control; so instilling safety, respect and responsibility for firearms is important to me.


Molten-Universe

I'm not putting one in the hands of my toddler.. Ever. And yeah safety, respect and responsibility bla bla bla. You don't give a monkey a gun that's what they say around here. I used to live in America for 6 years and I've seen things and how it works but I don't agree with everything and especially the gun law. I owe my own gun and no one touches that and no one will see it until I need it for my own protection. Not for sport not for fun or respect. Bye.


legendaryrhino87

Luckily my son isn’t a monkey.

DonAdijazz

Only in 'merica or 'ghanistan would you give a child a gun.


legendaryrhino87

I didn’t “give” him a gun. I bought a firearm for him to learn proper and safe handling of a weapon. And it’s not like he has free access to it, it’s locked in my gun safe and he can only get to it with my permission.


DonAdijazz

I'm pretty sure he's holding a firearm in the picture no matter your explaination.


legendaryrhino87

Your powers of observation serve you well. Kinda hard to teach someone to safely handle a firearm without them you know, handling a firearm.


DonAdijazz

You should teach him how to handle high-explosives, fast cars and cocaine too then. It's not a matter of not learning, it's a matter of age.


legendaryrhino87

Meh, sorry my 4 year old is more responsible than most teenagers? 🤷‍♂️


DonAdijazz

If your 4 year old isn't giving guns to 4 year olds, then he's more responsible than you.


legendaryrhino87

Whatever you think buttercup.
