re: What age to buy sons a gun

all depends on them. I felt my son at age 5 was old enough for a BB gun. He got a pellet gun 6 months later. Then...... as u read a 410, at 6 1/2. A point I want to make is, he has friends that come over and naturally my son wants to shoot the pellet gun to show off. I never let him because u never know the upbringing on another child. I am certain that many of his friends have never been introduced to a guns and are not mature enough to be around firearms. So, make your own descions about your own kids because you know your kids best. A time table is great but may not always work the way you plan.
