Although it looks like the dad? or whoever shes sitting on isnt paying attention, the person taking the picture must be. I have to doubt they would actually allow a little girl to hurt herself. My guess is the gun is either not loaded and shes just playing with it, or its a converted .22 and thus won't kick hardly at all. Or the person taking the picture is an asshat and doesn't know/care
When I was eight and nine I went to the shooting range a lot and I was always terrified that I would accidentally shoot someone or receive the kickback but it was still fun
Shes gonna be a pirate.
