Also, when you live in the South, you are raised around guns, and therefor have more respect for them, and generally more mature in that area. I was given my first gun (20ga. shotgun) when I was 10. Not every kid at that age is mature enough to handle a gun on their own, though.

Kinda the same thing up here in rural Manitoba. I don't oppose hunting, I just don't understand the fenced-in hunting.

And the fact still remains that a .50 calibre gun is, you know, pretty ridiculous for a kid. At least a 20 gauge is manageable.
