I do agree with you on the parent's choice. One caveat though. Even though she is anti gun, she has said she will let me teach him shoot. With his growing interest in guns, I see it as a very important issue to teach him to shoot safely and respect the power of guns as early as possible. Who is to say when he will be over at a friend's house, whose parents are less than responsible with firearms and the kids find one?
