Yeah, pistols can be really dangerous due to their short size and mobility.

That's why you gotta be real careful mixing kids and pistols. I stay very close behind so they can't sweep the area, do something unsafe.

DO NOT stand back and let them shoot a pistol. You gotta be right there, very close, constantly teaching safety and gun hnadling protocol.

With the right situation and the right kid, it can be a good and productive thing.
