So I bought my boy a blank firing rifle. Welded up barrel and all that jazz. The plan is to give it to him as a birthday gift, to let him keep it in his room and take it on woods walks, etc. He doesn't need to know it's a pop gun. My only concern is whether or not his handling of the rifle in the woods, and leaving it in his room is unlawful. I know it's dangerous, which is why I'm not planning on buying any blanks for it until he's a little older. He does keep his Red Ryder in his room. Never had a whoopsie and he doesn't handle it without asking. Hoping this blank gun can build trust and a healthy sense of fear/respect for the weapon. I don't want any knocks at the door or red flags called on me though. WWYD?
