FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Take a look at our section of frequently asked questions and answers.

Children should begin learning basic gun safety concepts as early as age three to four with simple rules like "don't touch, leave the area, tell an adult." Then, they can progress to more detailed firearm education around the ages of 8 to 12, depending on maturity level.
