“My four-year-old has been shooting since he was old enough to sit next to his dad and do it,” she said. "My niece, local kids in the neighborhood, we’ve had people come over and say this is scary, but then the look on their face when they try it says ‘this is so cool!’ I enjoy that it’s a different level of sportsmanship, of competing. I would rather my son play paintball instead of football. I know that sounds awkward because football is such a glorified sport in our country, but the damage that you can do to your brain makes me a little nervous. Where in paintball, yeah you can get a broken ankle or sprain or dislocate your shoulder, but you can heal from that.”
