Family tradition going back forever here is to purchase a child who wants their first gun a .22LR and a .410 shotgun. Then they go hunting with the adults and older kids but don’t get to carry ammo at first. Yes, they are unloaded-gun-toting dogs until they learn how it’s done.

Same tradition here.
Winchester bolt action single shot .22 and a single shot .410.

Taught me fire discipline - the importance of a clear shot and how to reload under pressure.
