RE: .22 for kids
dmacl , Ha ha ha , yea the cats would be running scared that's for sure.
I saw that Rossi and thought it would be a good thing also... but then I thought, "is that really the gun that they would do a lot of shooting and hunting with"? hmmmmm nope. So when they get old enough to start shooting they will start with a 22lr probably a ruger 10/22.
