Just finished a two day class at FS with my 13 yr old grandson. There was a 10 year old girl and another 12 yr old boy in our class. Surprised me how well she shot a 9mm handgun. She was less than 4.5 ft tall and must have weighed only about 70 lbs, but she would be able to defend herself with a handgun if she needed to. Bummer was it rained for couple hours today during the class and most of last night, so the ground was muddy. Sandy mud. I saw some guys who were taking the rifle class all dirty on the front, feet to chest. Must have been from shooting from the prone position. It was also windy, so it was cold. A guy from Idaho, a constitutional carry state, told me today that Kentucky will become one next week. That will make #16 according the the NRA. In the mean time, I get to conceal carry here for 11 more days before I return to the Peoples Republic of Hawaii.
Correction on the age. The girl must have been at least 11, which is the youngest age FS allows if supervised by parent or guardian. She was there with both parents and her slightly older brother. If you saw her you would think she was about 8, but was able to rack the slide and didn’t let the recoil of a 9mm faze her one bit.
