I had a 22 given to me when i was 2... i watched dad shoot it wen i was small and eventually began to shoot it myself when i was 4... i got let loose with it when i was 8 in the local farms.. nothing ever happened except the local pest poulation was kept in check.. it was locked away. I had to ask for it.. i was always made to rattle off the basic saftey commands b4 it was handed to me... however i think that practise would be frowned upon these days!!!
If its a responsible child and hes been taught firearm saftey.. good for him!!!!
