my dad began training me at 4 years old and shared his belief that "all children" should learn gun safety and become proficient with guns. my sister and brother had this upbringing as well. Now 60 years later all of our children and grandchildren have experienced a similar education. not all of us share the same passion, but all of us have the appropriate knowledge and respect for firearms. Miss Autumn, your Parents are Absolutely Awesome.... thanks...👍

[@jameskirk3]

I was 7 the first time I shot, I was 8 when I started shooting by myself and being trained. Thankfully my grandfather was a competitive shooter, invitational pistol matches, international competitions, shooting teams, etc and my father was also a competitive pistol shooter, though he didn't compete nearly as much as his dad. I got a good foundation and started taking my own rifle on hunts as soon as I could carry it myself the whole time, about 11 years old.

Also agree that her parents are awesome. It's much more rare these days. I started in the mid 1980s. Nowadays people are too political for the majority of people to even WANT to train their children.

I currently have the pleasure of shooting Skeet with a group of great folks which includes Autumn. She's an amazing 11-years-old with fantastic, well-grounded, and loving parents. She is such a natural talent who really does love the 12-gauge shotguns. I loaned her the use of my Beretta 20-gauge semi-auto - she blasted 16 in her first game without any practice shots - like I said, a natural. She thanked me for the loan then promptly went back to her 12-gauge. Our group consists of guys who range from 60- to 85-year-old and Autumn is a hoot to have around. College students should aspire to have the maturity of this youngster. Randy and Lindsay are the salt of the earth and are doing an amazing job of rearing their daughter. Much love, kids!!!

[@J-Rod91]

0:23 I live in Texas....... I know MANY families like this. I mean we don’t do the whole social media part but we train children in the proper/safe/respectful gun handling rules/protocols. I am 33 years old and have been handling guns practically my entire life. I first started learning about and shooting guns when I was 4. My family is VERY STRICT about gun safety and respecting guns for what they can do. So I was taught gun safety for at least a year before I was even allowed to handle a loaded gun or fire it. We have passed down our gun knowledge and discipline for generations.

[@MalikShaunte]

Right on!

[@MP-qn1jw]

God bless Texas! One of the most free states in the union. Abbott 2028!! My parents weren't as strict. However when I was 10, 2 men tried to kick in the front door while I was home alone. When I pointed my mom's 38 special at them, they left. It was loaded, and I was willing & ready to shoot. I did not shoot because I didn't want to kill anyone, I just wanted them to go away. Thankfully this did not happen in CA, IL, or NY because I would still be in jail, and so would my mom. My early training with guns instilled confidence in me so that I knew that I could stop them, but was reserved enough to not shoot unless absolutely necessary. Tiger grew up with golf balls, and Autumn is growing up with guns. Just imagine where she will be in 10 years. I imagine she will make the Tomb Raider look like an amateur.

@@janwerauchimmer thank for your question. Yes, the parent should decide what the truth is regarding history and politics. However, a well rounded home school experience will also include teaching a child how to process information so they can come to their own conclusions. And in my experience they do so. As far as omitting certain aspects of academics or in your example earth science, a parent may choose to keep the round planet theory hidden . This would be no different than the public school system omitting much of American history or applying a political message to every aspect of every subject that is studied.

Autumn is such a great kid. Very mature for her age, but still as childish and playful as kids her age as well. It is crazy how much she reminds me of my own daughter that is soon 15 now. The biggest difference is how much access Autumn has to guns and how extremely skilled she is with them. My daughter is also very skilled with guns compared with most at her age, but we are very limited with how difficult it is to own guns and specially handguns in our country. And ammo is insanely expensive. And my daughter might not be as naturally talented as Autumn is. I have shown my daughter Autumn's channel and she loves to watch it.

[@thomasthorn3154]

I'm right on the same page with this girl's parents. What a lucky kid. What they're actually doing is raising a confident well rounded responsible strong young American woman. Some pretty important life skills, i.e. discipline, responsibility, respect, confidence, following directions, being able to discern the difference between what is real and fantasy, what can be truly dangerous and what isn't... There's a lot to learn from being mentored in firearm safety and shooting skills starting well before the age of, say, 16 when kids start to think they already know everything and grownups are just stupid. When my 3 girls were between 5 and 9 we started taking milk crates of old bowling pins to the range at least a couple times a month. Admittedly, I got a kick out of watching how sharp my 3 little girls were getting to be out to 200 yards with the .22, SKS, and AR and on the pistol range with up to .45APC, especially when there would get to be 2 then 10 then 20 adults just standing behind us watching these little girls trying to outshoot each other and how well they handled themselves and firearms. It may have been a small relatively trivial aspect of their childhood as far as they were concerned, but I don’t think inconsequential. By the time they were 12 they were pretty good drivers too. I made sure they knew how to fight. The oldest took the taekwondo nationals at 16. I was trying to raise capable young women who were anything but superficial. Let’s face it. A great looking bimbo isn’t interesting for long. Anyway, they became teens way too fast and at that age they just want to be around their friends and get away from parents and authority figures. It doesn't dawn on them that they don't actually have everything already figured out. There's group pressure, stupid kids doing stupid stuff, goofing around, trying to impress one another, risk taking behavior. They’re almost oblivious to their own vulnerability or how grave the consequences of major idiocy can get. Things like beer and weed are one thing, hell, most of us did that at some point, but when things like cars, drunk driving, hard drugs, and guns come into the mix... let’s just say I wanted to make sure my girls understood the difference between having a good time and being in the vicinity of death wish level stupidity. I went to sleep at night believing they implicitly understood things like the difference between a toy or video game from a real gun and bullets, weed from meth and heroin, a buzz from shitfaced, that they would not be coerced or bullied, and that they had enough savvy to steer themselves or each other clear of any real bad stuff. All this was years ago. They’re all 3 grown up with their own families now. The oldest is a neonatologist. The second was a Coast Guard rescue swimmer before enrolling at Embry Riddle and becoming an airline pilot. The third is a general surgeon. I’m sure you can tell that I’m pleased with the outcome. I’ll just leave you with this. Teaching my children respect for and how to handle firearms was a part of my personal child rearing strategy. Just like martial arts, when taught properly and for the right reasons it can be empowering and build character, self-esteem and self-confidence in a young person, boy or girl. Hell, I was riding my stingray bicycle with my 20 gage single shotgun over my shoulder going pheasant hunting almost every morning before school all by myself by the time I was 9. It was a glorious time and probably didn't hurt when 10 years later it was an M16 and USMC tattooed on my shoulder. The shooting experience is actually something our kids deserve to have. It’s a part of their heritage and their right as an American if it suits them. So, kudos to Autumn and her parents. These days, unlike much of the country, it looks like they're doing well by their child and preparing her for life in a world that’s definitely going to be changing and not necessarily for the better.

It's horrific! They sound so stupid it's embarrassing. Every other word is "like" or "um", they don't think before they speak, they must repeat a question before or when answering it, and they just don't know how to socialize in the real world (like, in person and not via text or social media).

[@thebatonmaster]

I don't have a problem per se with kids shooting guns, but there's a couple things to always keep in mind and exercise caution about: 1) Kids can have excellent technical skills but they often lack wisdom and prudence. Parents are often overconfident in their children's decision making skills because the kid is obviously intelligent but smarts can't replace experience. 2) Because of point #1, kids take risks and do stupid things when the adults aren't looking. That's the nature of being a kid. When you're playing with waterguns then taking weird risks is not a problem, but with real guns it is dangerous. I guess the point is that parents should not become lax about supervision.

[@kiranfemboy]

Excellent comment. There's a huge difference between knowing technicalities and having actual experience. From the looks of both of her parents, and especially her dad, I'd say he's very proud of her but he still supervises her when dealing with firearms.

[@WastedTalent-]

I was 7 when my father bought me a Ruger 10/22 (back in the 80's). What a lot of kids are lacking, these days, is a healthy fear of consequences. I knew that if I even opened the gun cabinet without my father's permission, I'd get my ass beat. But kids that are taught proper handling and safety usually don't go on to do stupid things with guns. I played with toy guns up until I got the rifle. After that, I learned guns aren't toys and can be dangerous. Now? I own several rifles and built my AR-15 from a box of parts (NYS legal lower). I'm a 47 year old liberal woman.
