Can my 14 year old get an air pistol He already has a 22 air rifle and now he wants an 8 shot 177 pellet pistol not a bb pistol Should I let him have it?
This is a tough question to answer. Is your son a responsible person. Does he know how to safely handle a pistol? You know him best, 14 is a good age to start understanding the responsibility of handling a pistol, air rifle or firearm. At 14 I had my own 22 firearm, but I had a grandfather who taught me how to be responsible with it. Look up the basic rules of handling a firearm and see if your son understands them. By the way, Pellet pistols are much more accurate than BB pistols.
