In a few years Uncle Sam will teach him to shoot right hand. I am left handed and I use lever action and pumps. They are right hand safety, because when I started shooting that is all there was, so I got accustomed to it and it hads beeen so long that I woldbe agraid to get a left hand safe for fear of getting mixed up. I use a lever action rifle 308 and a 308 and 30-06 pump and 870 shotguns. I have a RH bolt for varmits no problem with it either.
