Why wouldn’t you be walking out with him?A lot here seem to take offense to my comment, "the kid should have stayed home". Well, let me ask you this. Would you have let your 17 year old kid, walk out the door with your AR, to go where he went? My kids are well into their adult years, but you can bet your ass I would not have let my son walk out the door like that.
Maybe with your kids, your mileage may vary.
