Is this OK? My son shooting? 7 year old

[dovehunter]

My son shot my AR. Just turned 7 a couple weeks ago. Is this legal?

[The Tiger]

Maybe, maybe not.

Spur of the moment deal, I was shooting, He wanted to fire a few rounds. He is so fired up. He loved it. Guess I need to Google it.

I don’t see why it would be illegal. He’s your Son.
I would just watch out for Karens online or your Son’s anti gun parents.

The gestapo will be outside shortly.

I can see why OP asks actually, since you cant loan a potential AW to basically anyone, one might wonder about their own child too.

Exactly, I looked online. Didn't say I couldn't. Definitely not a AW. Featureless.

Thank you. I will check that out right now.

Initially cited a wrong Penal Code, my post was edited with the correct Penal Codes.

I am in the process of teaching my 8 year old daughter... Don't see anything wrong with teaching correct use and handling.

If you need to know if something is legal, perhaps you should answer the question prior to putting the rifle in your son's hands

Kevin, that's a very informative post.

My siblings and I were taught firearm safety as soon as we were mature enough to know right from wrong.

I was about 7ish. Parents understood, no matter how they felt about firearms we would eventually be exposed and need to learn how to conduct ourselves.

I've wondered about this since my daughter is 3 right now and I want to teach her, but shes special needs and I do wonder what could possible come from teaching her or if I will even be able to
