Cun Course Teaches Youth
By Brad O'Connor
I have a 10-year-old son, so I knew the question might
come up some day. It did...this year. "Dad, when am I
going to be permitted to have a gun?" .
It was nearly 30 years ago that I'd asked my own father
t.ie Same question. Fortunately the decision was a relative
ly easy e..e for him. At the time we lived in Tucson, then
a town of 30, 000--only one-tenth its present population.
Dad taught at the state university, wrote for an outdoor ma
gazine, ahd was also an incurable gun buff. H 6 had no trou
ble taking two or three hours off from his jobs several times
a month for target practice or to hunt jackrabbits and coy
otes, which were plentiful in the nearby desert. And from
the time 1 was "knee-high-to an antefope 'jack,'" I was al
lowed to tag along With him. There were fewer people
around then. And thus there were fewer hunters.
But times change. The Tucson I knew as a child hasdis- j
appeared. So what did I tell my son John when he asked—
when he'd be able to have a gun? I said that I'd sleep on
the matter. And I did... for two nights. Then I told him
he could have his rifle. I knew just the gun. It was a scope
sighted Winchester . 22, none the worse for wear almost 30
yqars after my dad had givep it to me.
As my own father did faune, I've taken lohn out into
the country, taught him the rudiments of shooting position,
breath control, how to squeeze a trigger gendy, and the
vital importance of gun safety
Yet my personal instruction on how to handle a gun pro
perly is not enough. Before he can buy a hunting license,
John and all youngsters up f.o age l& must complete a fire
arms safety course. This course is an offic'-ti function of
the State Game Commission in 41 states and is required by
law in 16 of those, including Washington. It is also manda
tory in the other nine states.
Several weeks ago, John received a quick rundown from
the local state coordinator for firearms safety on what he,
John, shoyld expect when he takes the course before tie fall
hunting season. Among other things, he will learn about:
a. The parts of a gun and how to care for them
b. The safe ways to enter a boat or cross a fence with a
gun
c. His place in the zones of fire when'hunting with ethers
d. The safest color (blaze orange) to wear in the field
e. The dangers of pointing a rifle at something that he
doesn't intend to shoot
f. The state game and gun laws
g. Common courtesy in the field, such as not littering
and seeking an owner's permission to hunt on his land
If this seems like a pretty big order to you for a lad Johifr
age, you're quite correct, but the primary aim, after all, is
to make him a safe hunter. The state coordinator always
tells the fathers of youngsters who have satisfactorily com -
pleted the course, "It's your responsibility to see that your
child puts into practice what he learns in the course. Safety
should become a habit. "
And if your boy treats his gun with the same loving care
that I have given that. 22 my dad gave me nearly 30 years
ago, he can probably pass It along to his own son 30 years
from now. (Reprinted from INNER CIRCLE Magazine)
