Hey guys. I've recently have noticed my brother, who is now 9 years of age, has become mature enough to handle a firearm. So far me and my boyfriend have taught him to do basic maintenance on a Star Fire star .45, .38 special Charter Arms(not sure what model I can ask), and a .410/.45 long colt judge. We've been teaching him basic safety in the process, not to point the firearm at someone things like that. We haven't let him fire anything as all those would probably scare him off. What's some good things to teach him, besides continuing cleaning, should we also teach him while we are searching for a .22? I've thought about doing stance practice and dry fire but I'm not quite sure. My boyfriend is used to teaching men in the military, not such a young person and I want to make sure we won't miss anything and other tips to teach a young kid that will be easier for him to grasp.
