I feel so too but bear in mind what they say about still waters. Assuming we still have our guns when he comes of age....
Sorry for the low note but I can't help think about it. Perhaps they can live elsewhere if the govermnent does not think they are responsible and trustworthy enough. :roll:

The elder son, Shubaair, was given far too large a dose of Disney and he came away with the idea that guns were bad. I have been gradually weening him off this ridiculous notion.

The younger blighter, Shane, is being fed a very different diet. :wink:

Jonah,

It's a TOZ 35 Free Pistol - .22lr with a Morini grip.

A first airgun for a child is an important decision to make. May be difficult to find one that isn't too heavy. It should also have a reasonably light trigger that a young child can operate correctly.

None of the current crop of Indian airguns, rifle or pistol, fit the bill. Perhaps you could ask your sister to bring a HW25 for your son. However, he may need to grow a bit older (another two to three years) before it fits him well.

I for one am still looking for one for my elder son. Pity we cannot start them off with rimfires like they do in the U.S.. A Chipmunk would be just the ticket for them.

Photobucket does not seem to give too many resizing options.

Know of any other way?

Do not like the second pic - got the Sun position wrong. Just getting these two fidgety farts to stand still is a task in itself.

They have grown since you last saw them, eh?

Good Luck and God Bless the two

I don't know if any of you noticed it.Both the lads have their trigger finger out.Most important thing when not ready to shoot.

I am sure it's is not inadvertent. Good job, Mack The Knife.

Take care.

Well spotted, Vikram. I was wondering if anyone was going to comment on that. In all fairness, I don't think Shane could even reach the trigger.

Incase anyone is wondering, the breech is also open and the pistol unloaded. Just for the record... :wink:

They already know the basic do's and don'ts of gun safety but I still wouldn't trust them with a loaded gun unless I am right by their side.

Believe it or not, whilst they were playing on the range lawn, about 40 metres behind the 25 metre pistol range, I was later told that a twit was turning around waving a fully loaded semi-auto pistol. If I ever catch him doing that again.... :evil:

Rsstam,

Sweet kids. And congratulations to you for bringing them up right! 8)

Would love to have them here with my partner's kids (one 11, one 8 and one 5) and get them to shoot together at his property on a holiday sometime.

Cheers,

Mehul
