re Opinions Wanted

Oct 24, 2009 12:40 PM
I have ten grandsons. Eight are teenagers. I am doing a roombox which will be a teenage boy's room. Most of my grandsons are into sports, one of which is hunting. I'm trying to portray as many sports as I can in the room. I have a miniature hunting rifle, duck decoys, etc. I was in the process of making a gun case when a tragedy took place in our area. Some teenage boys were looking at one of the other boy's hunting rifle when it accidentally went off and a boy was shot and killed.

Now, I don't know if I should put the rifle in the scene or not. My grandsons are all skilled in shooting and gun safety, and they were not present at the shooting. I am planning to enter it in the county fair next year. But hunting is a sport some of my grandsons pursue... To do or not to do....

PS, I don't like guns or hunting....

I would be reluctant to put the gun in the scene given the local tragedy. You could still include the duck decoys and perhaps a hunting print--maybe throw one of those orange vests they wear in the woods over a chair. If anyone asks where the rifle is, you can say it's safely locked away until the next hunting trip.

I agree; leave the gun out of the scene..

There's always fishing gear, and the other sports they pursue; bikes? race cars? and multitudes of other testosterone-challenging activities to focus on.



A positive attitude may not solve all your problems,
but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
