...if I decide to beat my son today. Last night he had a sleep over and he and his friend took the high powered air rifle and shot the basement door 20 or 30 times. It's a metal door with a solid wood core and even at low power, this thing was denting the outside of the door after shooting through the inside and the core. I may have to kill him so you guys will have to send me pipes and tobacco to the big house.
Use a rubber hose, it won't leave marks and the welts go down in minutes. On the head, use a bar of soap in a sock, hurts like hell and the soap dents so again no marks. When he calls the police, just act dumb and say it was just one of his distorted dreams, he is a little touched you know.
How do you plan on teaching him the danger of firearms? People use them to kill things. I carry a gun everywhere so I'm not some firearms hater, but holy crap. I'm happy that your son and his friend are OK, but they both need a serious lesson. A richochet or a wrong move and you can be dead quick. Those little tiny bullets can go a long way through a body.
Oh man what bone heads! Back when I was more of a bone head in my teens. I shot out a neighbors window with a BB gun. Got my ass whipped for that one. I shot just about every thing in the back yard, Moms pink flamingos also. That did not go over so well. 
I also threw a party when she was gone and we played a game of quarters on her brand new kitchen table. there were little dings all over it from bouncing quarters into the beer glass. Nothing like being hung over and grounded at the same time!
A friend told me once these times are for learning. Both parents and kids alike. You got to learn to lock up the air gun. Your son gets to learn how serious his pissed off dad can be! Some day you both will look back on this and have a laugh. Some day a long time from now when his kid pulls some bone head move and you can say, "Remember when"
Payback for the pranks we pulled as kids, some our parents knew about, some they will never know!
Kids will be kids. If it's not locked up and kept safe, then it's not 100% their fault. You should start by teaching them about gun safety and dangers. How to treat a weapon, loaded or not. Physical beating never worked for me, and actually made me lose respect for my parents. I see why they did it, but that's the easy way out to punish kids. They need to learn what they learned was wrong and why. If you really want them to learn their lesson , teach them right. Beating a child never works.
i grew up with a gun in my hand. pellet gun at 5yrs 22 cal at 11 yrs and everything else. I still have several pellets in me and was shot @ 14 yrs of age with a 22 cal. I have raised 2 children who r now moved out an while they were growing up i often wondered if i was that dumb as a teen. I guess,looking back, i was prob even dumber but i thought at that age that i knew everything!!!!! And that adults were dumb. I guess as a parent, we will do what we will do with our kids but always remembering that they r kids, and eventually, hopefully, their brain will catch up to their bodies. Thank God no one was hurt!!!!!
Kids will be kids, and that's why I agree with Rhogg ...
Teaching them how to use any firearm safely and then giving them a safe place to use them, that's the best idea.
My Dad God rest his soul was diligent about teaching me how to fire rifles, shotguns and handguns safely, and occasionally, we went out shooting and had a good time.
And here I was thinking that the kid was pretty smart. He figured out that if they were going to shoot indoors, It better be at a door with a steel skin. My kid shot the glass out of my antique schoolhouse clock! YOur kid seems smarter and less angry than mine was!
I decided not to kill him. He has market value working in a Nike factory in the Philippines so I will be sending him over there and taking the proceeds to fix the door.
Car windows are expensive ask my son who shot out my side window with his compound bow,a good asskicking is all it took to cure him.
Well, he now gets to work to buy a new door ($350?) then he gets to learn how to hang a door.
So that's the silver lining.
Sounds pretty mild compared to some of the stuff I did as a kid LOL
haha thats a whole lot cheaper than what i had to pay for when i was younger.....
ricochet of the bb off of a tree hit my friend in the eye....
all of us out there had to help his family with the medical bills. luckily he can still see fine out of that eye, but it could have been a lot worse
I spent 12 years as a prison chaplain and, while the experience of incarceration surely has its complications, most facilities still allow smoking. I've known several inmates who actually enjoyed their pipes while on free time in the prison yard. That said, do what you must, my friend.
I would bet it was cool while it was going down . Bap thump boom .
Use an orange in a sock...no bruises
Seakayak, I hate to think how any of them smuggled in their pipes!
If any of my kids do a stunt like that, they'll be paying for the repairs out of their pocket. Plain and simple. As interest, the air rifle would become mine, lol.

gives new meanin to "This baccy tastes like crap" hahahaha
My brother did almost all the goofy stuff when we were kids. We moved into a new house in the suburbs when I was 5 and my parents never put anything on credit. You saved, then you bought. They saved up for a year to put two evergreen trees on either side of the drive way. My dad went and picked them up and then planted them himself on the weekend. That monday, my brother who was like 4 at the time found a can of silver spray paint in the garage and painted the trees so they would look like Christmas trees to surprise my dad when he got home. My dad is a yeller so my mom made him calmly explain to my brother why it was wrong to paint them. My brother said he understood but then said "Dad, you have to admit, they do look pretty!" They were dead within weeks. lol
When I was 8 and my brother was 6, my dad went to Sears and bought a huge tent for the family to go camping in. He bought it November and it was in a plain brown box and he put it in the family room not telling us what it was. He was going to wait till December and then wrap it as a gift for the family. One day my brother and his friend found the box, went into the kitchen, got some knives and stabbed the box hundreds of times. LOL When asked why they did it, they said it was fun killing the box. I thought my dad was gonna kill him right then and there.
keep the stories coming, this is hilarious. 
makes me think back to when my brother and i took out our dads two antique flint lock pistols. we took a box of 12ga shells and went out to a old chicken house we used to play in.
we were home alone that day and i was around 14 and my bro 12. we opened up the 12ga shells and dumped the shot out in a pile and the powder in another pile then we loaded them babes up just like we had seen them do on tv in the old movies, powder,wad of paper,some shot,wad of paper then a little powder under the primer space where the flint strikes. well it seemed like it took about three seconds for the gun to go off after you pulled the triger when the flint struck the strike plate. well there was not a window left in one end of that old chicken house. we put the pistols back and when our dad one day saw the windows gone and all the little holes everywhere,well we sure caught hell and we never seen the flint locks again.
Buy a safe.Pellet guns can kill.A young boy was shot in the head with one
a few years ago and died.Send them to a hunter safety course or gun safety
course.
