It’s a good example of over-reaction, or wrong reaction. The screen can be easily replaced, AND it was a good lesson in gun handling. The kid should have celebrated. Instead he appeared to be on the verge of a pity-me breakdown. The woman seems to be a possible source of the kid’s wrong reaction, as they appear to have broken down into a mutual tantrum.
When my sixteen year old daughter was driving us on a highway, and some guy pulled out in front of us in another pickup causing a horrific collision which totaled both vehicles. Kamikaze. I didn’t allow her to react even to that extent seen in this video. Once it was clear that everyone was OK, I smiled, put my arm around her, told her it was all OK and that we were very fortunate, that this was just a minor inconvenience. Later that day I put her behind the wheel of another vehicle and we talked about things that are important and things that are not, and what the differences are. Having a FREAKOUT fest is for pussies, cowards, sociopaths, and Democrats.

The kid doesn’t know it yet but this is a blessing in disguise. He has learned a valuable lesson at relatively little cost that he (hopefully) will remember later in life.

I agree with Lyle, I’ve been on the end of those sociopathic “freak out fests” from a so called “adult” and they are not fun.
I hope the kid learns an important lesson from this 🙂

The important thing here is not the reaction, which basically was incredulity. The important thing, if the kid has half a brain or some adult counseled him, is he learned, relatively inexpensively the first three rules of gun safety. If he is smart, or if someone counseled him wisely, he also learned the tragedy that could have resulted if the gun had been a firearm and someone in the next room were injured or killed (i.e. rule #4). I hope that if he is ever a firearm owner , or handles firearms or even sees someone else handling firearms, that the cheap lessons learned here are not lost.
