Cary Hart had his followers talking after his latest Instagram post. The former motocross star posted a photo of his 3-year-old son Jameson standing in front of multiple rifles. Jameson was seen staring at a .22 rifle while holding his fans in his face. Hart said Jameson was sad about his current situation despite enjoying shooting targets.
Hart has seen his share of criticism teaching his kids how to shoot guns. However, Hart defended his position by saying in October: “I’m a firm believer in teaching my kids to shoot, but more importantly, handle a firearm. No better sound than the bullet of your kids gun plucking a steel target at 30 yards. Have a great weekend, everyone.”
