Amen Brother, that post brought Tears to my eyes. Nothing beats huting ducks with buddies and having the kids along. One of my buddies brings his three kids along, it was awesome watching a 9 year old shoot his very first duck. His father was right there watching his every move talking him through it. Its fun watching my dog smile as he sits next to the kids in the blind. This is the memories we will be loosing if the anti gun nuts are successfull in taking our constituionally held rights away from us. It's up to gun owners to protect these rights and freedoms. Its up to lawfull gunowners to make sure we practice fire arm safety and correct unsafe acts when we see them. We must educate the uneducated.
When I go hunting and I hunting with someone for the first time. I tell them I have two rules, first don't shoot my dog. Second no bird is worth dying over. Watch your gun at all time and lets have fun but be safe.
