Thread: Media Firearms beat-up continues

Well by that definition I must be a very rare person.

My - then - 14 year old took up fullbore target shooting as his sporting hobby.
In order for him to have a rifle to use exclusively I had to get a Firearms License which I did.
I had no previous firearms experience and no particular interest in shooting myself.

To own a firearm and ammunition I obtained my FAL, then a rifle, then began reloading for my son.

We're onto our third rifle now for fullbore target shooting - this time a specialised target rifle built up from components.

You may be rare, but welcome none the less. I know of many parents who would go to the same lengths for their kids, but I also know there are many parents out there who would not do the same. Good on you for getting involved.

I like the part where he suggests Dunedin's weather makes people want to shoot each other. You can't make this stuff up.

Is that why David Bain didn't like his paper run?
