I would not want them to handle a gun if found at all! I would want them to call the police. And.....no I would not let my kids do several things......fire a gun, get a tattoo, get a piercing, bungy jump, ride a motorcycle, parachute from a plane......these are all things that I as a parent have presence of mind NOT to let them do or try until they are of an age to make that decision for themselves! (That is age 18 in my house) My oldest has been nagging me for a paint ball gun for about 5 years now and I keep saying no because A. I don't see the need......and B. That can only end badly with paint splotches all over my shop/yard or someone losing an eye. How is that for complete? Kids need more supervision today folks and its up to us to do it.....I for one do!
Question Kevin: Do they have such a thing as a firearms merit badge in the scouts??? Are there age/license requirements if so??
