Hey, I'm a screaming lefty (pretty much) and I am very glad to have 1) 
learned to shoot and 2) even went hunting a few times with a boyfriend. 
 I've always subscribed to the "eat what you kill" philosophy, and the 
boyfriend was a farmboy whose mom made a pretty mean squirrel.  I was a 
pretty crappy shot and never had to deal with actually killing 
anything.  Skeet shooting, on the other hand, is a literal blast.  I 
would love to do that again sometime.

We do intend to teach Caelan about guns and when he is old enough teach 
him gun safety.  I won't have one in my house, but it is safer for 
children to know about guns and understand gun safety than to shield 
them completely IMHO.
