Are you a young member?

Posted 02-25-2008 at 09:43 PM by Chris
While I welcome all users to the site, I want to offer a piece of advice.

If you are under 18, you are not legally allowed to buy ammo, or any firearm. So don't post about you purchasing "your favorite brand".

This type of postings are not welcomed, and it's quite possibly the stupidest thing you can post here.

Posting of things like this will not be accepted, and can lead to your direct banning.

This isn't a way to punish the "young", but protect myself and this site from unwanted media attention.

Haven't been on in awhile, and just noticed that the person that was the reason for this warning is no longer on the site. Good thinking getting a word to the wise posted, although with some people, it sadly just never seems to sink in.

I think the key operative word was BUY, which in the case of ammo and firearms is illegal for those below the age of 18. I wouldn't think anyone would object in the least about performance, quality and satisfaction reports concerning the lawful USE of the aforemeantioned products by members under the age of 18.

I'd have to agree with ezearln, it is illegal for a minor to buy but not for 1 to shoot or have a firearm opinion. Even though this site is not a huge draw to minors don't make them feel discouraged by sending them off because they can't buy stuff themselves, we need kids coming into hunting and shooting if we want our sport to survive. This doesn't mean that if they come on here and get sent away they won't hunt or shoot but in my childhood if it had happened to me I would have been very discouraged. Plus anything they get off this site is better than anything on youtube or myspace.

I agree with all of you, and it's a wise move. I started my kids young, but they knew that it was something they only did with dad. We've never had an accident, so I think I did a pretty good job. Hopefully, the kids who come on the forum are the same as mine, trained by concerned parents.

One of the reasons I left another firearms forum is the advice given to minors who were seeking ways to carry weapons and have possession of them against the wishes of their parents. I found such posts disturbing and those giving "advice" criminal in their attitude and disrepectful of both the law and the parents.

DWFan If you would pm me and let me know what sites did this. I don't even want to be listed as a member of such a reckless site. I will not knowingly support or endorse a site like that. It should be allowed to wither and die.

I agree with you fellas, on this subject. If someone else had been trying to teach my kids about firearms, and carry, I'd have beened riled beyond belief! It's the job of the parents, to teach their children about such things, and not a stranger. Let 'em go into the sunset, for the mistake.
