Ah that is a different issue, JD was all ready to go on that aspect.
We had multiple tags that year and he used one of mine, when he turned 10 They started to use the apprentice tag or some such thing.
We tried for two years to get his field day done for the new stupid online firearms safety class. Finally I found an actual instructor based class that I took both boys to. So now then get their own licenses.
Honestly I believe it is the parents who need to decide when their child is ready. I think it helps to bring confidence and a real understanding of life and death to them.
Just my opinion. I don't allow the kids to do "drives" with loaded weapons nor am I allowing them to stalk around with a round in the chamber. Heck I am having issues with letting the oldest boy sit on his own, he just turned 14 however that is more of a dad issue
