Charlie,
I just have to turn dipwad stuff like that video off. Can't watch it. Wastes my time & time is short.
You are likely right about someone wanting to try this stuff out in this case. DonMountain basically said the kid was "testing".
For the sake of any involved, I hope that it stops/gets stopped. There is already enough "Darwin Award" BS that goes on.
I am gonna unsubscribe from this topic. Unless I receive a reply directed at me, I am not going to post here again.
This is ridiculous in my mind. As a grandpa( Pappy) myself, if I were to find out that any one of my grandkids were pulling this BS off, there would be some hell to pay.
YMMV.
I am done here.
G'Luck!
I wish ya the best!

Yes! We gave the boy a Lyman 50th Edition Reloading Manual and he left his computer in the TV room and sat up in his bedroom and read the whole thing. And a couple of weeks ago some friends that I shoot with came over for supper and we all went out on a beautiful day and did some trap shooting and firing a 9mm handgun. The boy stayed off to the side when we started with the handgun and just watched, not saying anything. Until I called him over and told him it was his turn to shoot. And it appeared like he enjoyed himself. Then we went out to trapshoot and he ran into the house and brought out his cheap pump action shotgun that he was shooting the experimental shells off with. And we all took turns shooting for a couple of hours. He shoots trap very well and was on the highschool trap team for 2 or 3 years. And he recognized all the shells we were using were ones he had picked up for me at "his" trap club years ago and I had reloaded on my antique Pacific Shot Shell Reloader. And he talked freely about shooting and all. And now all of this "experimental" shotgun shell stuff is gone off his library table in his room. And he even came out and cleaned up all the trash he had been throwing at our shooting range. So, he must be having a change of heart, or he read some important information in that reloading manual we gave him. Or he appreciated the two, hand made reloading blocks I gave him. So, should I start lending him some of my reloading tools? Like that "extra" antique Pacific powder scale I just bought on eBay? Some extra reloading dies I don't have guns for anymore?
Thats really Great news! It sounded like you were going to have a challenge there at the beginning. It looks like the exposure to your friends was good for the boy. I would still probably ease into this slowly and take my cues from the boys behavior and actions. Its good on you for doing this, it can't be easy.
I've seen similar things happen to young folks
we had a goodly number of high school students in our VFD. If we had a major fire we could get them out of class
most if not all stepped up when given responsibilities and treated as equals as they now had a meaningful purpose in life
I know this isn't an exact example of what you went through but something similar could have taken place

I wouldn't give him anything at this point he won't immediately use. We have a tendency to hoard, and I'd want to not start that at this point!
