Very sorry to hear about this.
Just watched the video on YouTube. The instructor gave the girl a single shot and then went directly to full auto. Very poor choices and instruction come at a very high price (parents, vendor and instructor). I introduced my buddy to handguns. He was issued a rifle (no handguns) when he was in the military and his specialty was large scale demolitions (bridges, tanks, buildings, etc.). Even with his military experience and adult stature and strength, started him with classroom training and then progressed to a single round in a revolver. I don't know why a range instructor would do this with an adult, let alone a child??? Don't know what the parents were thinking either. Last edited by ths61; 08-28-2014 at 12:46 AM. |

I nominated the gun-range instructror for The Darwin Awards.
This is very sad for the girl, who is most likely deeply traumatized because of extremely clueless and irresponsible adults

Looking at some toy train stuff on eBay this morning. In the terms of the auction it said:
Congress enacted the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 and we must now note that these ARE NOT TOYS, AND ARE NOT INTENDED FOR USE BY CHILDREN UNDER AGE OF 14. These products are Model Railroad Equipment and Accessories intended for use by adults Amazing that you've got warning notices on toy trains but a 9 year old can shoot an Uzi Sent from my iPad using A.Aficionado |

Indeed. The instructor was the one who was killed. Posthumous Darwin award candidate. Parents for the living Darwin award. The tragedy is what the 9yr-old will have to live with (includes having to live with her parents).
