I'd like to help in some way.
We need to educate as many as we can about firearms so they know how to handle them safely and don't see firearms as evil or dangerous.I mentioned a “bring a friend ENS”, but it f you guys want to do something as far as working with kids, thats great too.
I don’t have anything particular in mind though so you all who are thinking to do something along these lines think about it some please. I’ll do the same. Maybe we can come up with something definite.

The issue is that you have to find parents with the same mindset. A lot in this day and time are against gun ownership because the media tells them so and they believe the media.We need to educate as many as we can about firearms so they know how to handle them safely and don't see firearms as evil or dangerous.
I agree that we should think about it and hopefully we can come up with something for later in the spring.
Thank you for the advice. I had no intention of forcing someone to do something they didn't want to do.Make Sure They're Ready and Willing
Each family has its own traditions and standards for determining when a child is ready to fire a gun. My wife and I have opted to postpone the first trip to the range until our kids can demonstrate a clear understanding of safety instructions and a level of maturity that shows they will be able to stay on task for the length of the event.
But being mentally prepared is not the same as having a desire to go. Walking through the rules provides an opportunity to gauge a child's level of enthusiasm. In our son's case, he was very excited to finally be invited to join his grandpa, aunts, uncles and cousins for the day. But if he had been reluctant or uncomfortable about going, we would have done our best to resolve his concerns. If he still didn't want to go, we would have continued to postpone the first outing until he was ready.
