Comments on: Camp Okutta Lets Kids Play with Grenades and Land Mines! http://www.neatorama.com/2007/08/23/camp-okutta-lets-kids-play-with-grenades-and-land-mines/ The Neat Side of the Web Thu, 04 Dec 2008 07:14:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Sid Morrison http://www.neatorama.com/2007/08/23/camp-okutta-lets-kids-play-with-grenades-and-land-mines/#comment-198022 Sid Morrison Sat, 25 Aug 2007 03:39:37 +0000 http://www.neatorama.com/2007/08/23/camp-okutta-lets-kids-play-with-grenades-and-land-mines/#comment-198022 What's the big deal? 25 years ago when I went to summer camp, we were instructed in the safe and responsible use of firearms (rifle, pistol, and shotgun) and everyone was the better for it. We did lots of other stuff too... No land mine or grenade training, though (much to my chagrin). Somewhere around here, I've all my N.R.A. Junior Marksman awards... Obviously the video is a spoof, folks; don't get all teary eyed. Straight talk from Sid.
