So what would be wrong with buying the gun for him and he only touches the gun under the fathers supervision?

I don't know if there's anything "wrong" w/ that approach; it just wasn't the approach I felt most comfortable w/. When I bought handguns for my kids, it was my intention to give it to them for their possession as they had moved away. I was given my first handgun by my parents when I was 18, as well. To be more accurate, I actually bought the gun myself w/ my own money.
