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 appreciate your straightforward answer. I don't agree, but that's what makes the world go around.
Yes, that's my favorite chocolate too and it's the absolute best for making chocolate chip cookies. I can find it locally but maybe that's because there are many German and Swiss in this area.
