It is legal to hunt at 12 years old in some states.
Edit: I bought enough trigger locks for all my long guns and pistols for under $100. There is no excuse not to have them installed and I live alone. My guns are also in a locker as well as trigger locked. My ammo is in a different room in a safe box screwed to the closet floor from inside the locked box. All this was well under $200 including the gun locker.
I need to get some sleep. I read that as
And thought this 13-year old had a gun after the age he needed it for protection...lmao
To be fair to you, 12 year olds are the worst. Source: was 12 year old
I don't think there's an age limit for hunting in my country, either. I did have a couple of shotguns for the purpose.
To get a license for them I had to pass an exam identifying all game, even by silhouette. And I had to pop in for a quick interview at the police station before applying for a weapon's license.
I feel like those hoops would filter out 95% of those looking to get weapons fpr illicit purposes. In the case of a handgun, you'd need to show a long-lasting interest in either range shooting or hunting game that hide in dens.
I doubt THAT'S why the kid had a gun. It was easier to buy one in my high school than to get one as an adult (even with a good income) where I grew up in NYC.
Seriously is this person think the only way to get stuff is from Walmart or Target? Embarrassing
That's usually only for rifles, most states it's 21 for a hand gun.
Come give it your best try.
