Lots of decent feedback...The wife and I talked about it and we've decided to wait and get him a handgun when he is older. Personally, 18 at minimum.

Also, below is my 1st response to those offering feedback from page 1. I just baffles me to think that some folks thought I would just arm a 13yo with a pistol and let me just roam around.

(quote]I think its more of a thing where he wants it so he can say he has one of his own. He would never be permitted to use it without me around. Other than that he would have zero access to it. And FTR he is a pretty mature and responsible kid for his age. But my initial response to him was that I'd get him one when he left home. [/quote]

I don't think it'd be horrible to buy a single six for yourself and let him shoot it every now and then. Don't tell him it's his until you feel ok with him bringing it out himself.

I've been thinking about it, and I think I was borrowing my old man's .22 pistol with ratshot when I started driving. I don't think I started shooting any gun for fun until I was about 20. Before that if I pulled a trigger, I was either sighting in a gun or killing something.
