Now I have to go out and get anouther one for myself.

Sounds like a real hardship

Might as well pick up something new to go with it while you are out and all -- no need to waste that gas and only get 1 gun in the process.

God I wish my parents were like you... my mum has coronary when I mention knives!!! (Utility, something to cut rope, and do maintenance!)

Ive done a little shooting, a friend is a firing range martial, and while ive never really been 'tought', im apparently a pretty good shot for my age. (And experience level)

When I was 12 or so, my dad took me out to shoot his old Army .22 Ranger, a training rifle from the 1920's-30's. He didn't really teach me how to shoot.

The camp I went to taught me a good bit, but they had those fancy target .22's which I despised.

I didn't really learn to shoot til I was about 15-16 and a family friend gave me a pump action browning 12 gage.

You could try calling the CMP: http://www.odcmp.com/

or NRA: http://www.nra.org/programs.aspx

To see what youth shooting programs they have in Hawaii. They offer both airgun and .22 programs and they are well run and formal training programs that might make your mom feel better about the whole deal.
