So my brother and his wife are caring for their 12 year old nephew.......the poor kids mom is well......she's gonna be out of the picture for awhile. So dfs tool custody of him and my brother and his wife are his foster parents. That's the legal setup for now.
My brother had to have a dfs inspection before being listed as a foster home and all that. Guns were asked about.....the social worker needed to see how they were stored and was fine with the safe and everything. My brother has to get most "activities" approved by dfs and the kid loves fishing and boy scouts tbat my brother got him into this summer....and asked my brother if he can hunt with him this fall. My brother asked his social worker if he could go to a gun club with us to teach him gun safety then hunt and the guy said no way if there is an accident it'll be all over the news. So my brother told the guy he wants to bump it to the supervisor. The supervisor said get her a plan in writing on the safety, training, and where and what they'll be hunting and she'd consider it. He wrote up that he'd have him take the online hunter ed.....then go to the gun club with me and him to teach him safety and all that......then hunt small game this fall. The supervisor approved it! So I'll be hosting my brother and the young lad tomorrow to get him going on gun safety and initial marksmanship.
A small win. My brother never thought they would approve it but they did.
