This past week and all the way up untill this coming Friday is gun season for deer. Every year you hear stories of hunters getting killed or injured because of lack of responsibility or safety. With this upcoming Christmas there are sure to be a number of kids who will be asking for a gun from Santa. It is our duty as fellow hunters to insure and instill good safety habits in the next generation, we have to teach them how to use that gun as if it were always loaded (even though it may not be). Gun safety can affect anyone if not taken seriously, I lost a friend my freshamn year of college at Emporia State. He was shot and killed by some people passing by his duck blind, they fired a couple of shots at his decoys with a rifle. He was hit in the chest and died instantly. This is just one of the many sad examples that can take place if people are ignorant with the use of there guns. We must make it our responsibility to provide kids and new gun owners of these saftey tips. If you have any good advice you would like to share or stories explaining the need for gun safety please share.
