re: What age to buy sons a gun

Be flexible and use your best judgement, boys mature at different rates, even among other boys. What you MUST consider in using your judgement as to the introduction, is firearm safety. Use the NRA's Eddie Eagle guidelines to teach gun safety. Set the example yourself and demand it with toy guns, BB guns, etc.

During horseplay, one of my cousin's shot his brother in the eye with a BB gun, and he lost his eye. Many of us have seen this before, but please be a black & white, gun safety nazi when it comes to your boys--it may save their life.
