You clowns wouldn't let a 13 or 14 year old shoot a gun or drive a car


I was taught to shoot around 11 or 12 (once my arms were long enough for the rifle), learned to drive around 13 or 14 (lived on a big farm). There is no one answer for everyone other than "know your kids, don't lie to yourself about them".

I started shooting around 10 and driving around 12 (on my parent's and grandparent's farms). I didn't shoot a gun unsupervised until I was 17, and didn't drive unsupervised until I was 15 (on the farm)...and didn't drive on the roads unsupervised until I got my drivers license at 16.

My parents set things up where I gradually learned responsibility by establishing boundaries for both of these things. As I demonstrated responsibility, my boundaries were broadened.
