If I do have children, I’m going to raise them with firearms. I’m just not sure the proper age. BB/airgun at 10, then .22 at 13?

I’m stocking up on caps (the rolled kind). My grandsons and I had a hard time finding them this weekend.

It all depends on the childs obediance behavior. Does s/he recognize danger, ie. play with matches? If you feel they will not shoot out the street lamps and neighbors lights, not wound animals for the sake of wounding them, then teach him how to use a BB gun, with all the rules that go with gun ownership.
If you see any infractions with the BB gun, hold off on giving him a .22.

When my daughter turned 10, I got her a single-shot 22. She loves it.

I have seen 10 year olds at our local firing range doing everything just right. However, they seemed very serious and careful with their moves and were under close adult supervision. One boy in particular is a regular.
