How old were you when you first fired a gun?

Sister and I are debating this. When did you learn to shoot? When do you think it's a good age to start learning firearm safety?

Oh heck….5-6 yo maybe ??
Our father was big into them, was partners in a gun shop when we were kids. So we literally grew up around them. My brothers and I .
Was taught to load at a young age, everything about ballistics, all that stuff ! It was fun !! All our friends knew and were extremely jealous most of the time. We were shooting every weekend at the least. And a lot of the time we would shoot during the week ! Sometimes 2-3 times !!
Yep I say we were very fortunate.
Thanks DAD !! lol

I taught my daughter when she was 5-6 I guess…maybe earlier ?
