Just a ques ton. Would it be okay to give a rifle to an 11 year old boy?

I like the poster's answer saying he would keep the rifle locked in his gun safe. But as for me, giving an 11 year old a 22 rifle is fine as long as the parent and child are responsible. Easy-Bake ovens are dangerous too.

I might be able to save myself some grief by giving you a line of BS, but here's my honest answer: Everything else being the same, yes. Boys will have (supposed to anyway) special responsibilities in life, so it's a whole different ballgame. Not just with guns. I think a daughter requires more constraint (in things like dating for example) than a boy does. I know that most would see that as hypocritical, unfair, and so on - but that's the way things are in Jaysunville.

I just realized what your name represents. We get a box of the good stuff from Germany once a month.
