What age for a BB Gun?

[CrimsonSoul]

Eh CA is one of those states where it's nigh impossible to get a CHL as they are an "At Will" issue state meaning that they will only issue a CHL if they think you need one and a military base at that is federal property and anytime you are in the base the firearm would have to be locked up unloaded in your trunk

When they are born, you buy them a rifle

8, or like a little youth 10/22 or bolt action .22... start em young and they grow to be responsible gun owners...

Depends on what you've been teaching them, 6-10 is usually fine though.

get her a BB gun but only let her use it under your supervision until she gets older. at 10-11 you could buy her a little .22 six shooter/derringer.

those .22 six shooters are loud as fuck... rifle would be safer in a few respects

My step brother takes his 4 year old to the range, he teaches her gun and range safety using a cap gun. Its pretty smart, and its about the cutest damn thing you ever saw.

BB gun at 10, 22 bolt action at 13, 22 semi at 15, 18 .38 special revolver

That what my dad gave me, and when I have kids seems pretty good. You don't want to start them to young otherwise they will think and treat guns as toys, they have to have some level of maturity.

How about never ? A DS with Nintendogs seems like a much more suitable present for a 6 year old girl.
This is probably because I'm European, but I'd never give a kid a gun.

Hey what do you expect from the nation that would give a gun to a kid but tell him playing games is evil and seeing a nipple will see him go to hell .
