This ain't rocket science..."hey dad, I reallly would like to join a rifle club and learn how to shoot and I'd like you to tag along"..then tell him you love him...how could he say no.

That's as good as it gets, imo.

If he still says no, you will simply have to wait until you are on your own.

I love to tell people who are against guns that free people own guns, slaves don't.

Then tell his this is what you were thinking about buying!!!

Tell him that you would like to take the safety classes with him.

When you are looking to buy your first gun, stick to something simple like a Ruger 10/22. Stick to iron sites for a while and maybe ask for a scope for Christmas. .22 is a relatively inexpensive gun to shoot and fun for you both.

I agree with this suggestion as well. By doing this, it demonstrates a few things. One: you are serious enough about this that you are willing to do what it takes to be safe and educated.

Two: That you want to do this with him as well. This is something fathers and sons have been doing for a long, long time. It is excellent bonding.

Three: The main concerns parents have is for safety. This course gives you both the proper tools you need to understand firearm safety and how to conduct yourselves when handling firearms.
