target practice

Just an afternoon (8.1.2010) of target practice in Louisiana with Uncle Cory & Jacob . . .

. . . and a few curious longhorns who call the pasture behind their house home -- longhorns who were coaxed up to the fence with pears from a nearby tree after the gun was put away.

While I'm not a likely candidate for membership in this organization, I am not completely opposed to the possession of guns, or longhorns, for that matter :) As with all things, education is the key.

  2. They do provide quite a show, don't they. No offense, but from close up, they seemed quite stupid. How, you ask, do I know that an animal is stupid? Hmmm. . . .just a feeling.

  3. What a fun opportunity for your daughter. I grew up shooting guns, but then I grew up in Alaska. However, with three boys in my house there is no way we will ever have a gun in our house. Male Hormones can lead to stupidity.

  4. No guns in this house either! I think it's dangerous to deny anything outright, though. I'm not a big fan of guns & was even a bit queasy with her handling a BB gun with her safety conscious uncle present . . . but, I want her to be able to experience life and eventually make decisions for herself. I'm afraid that plain denial of anything can lead to danger.
