Texas law is allowing access to a person YOUNGER than 17. Georgia is below 18. I disagree with these laws in some aspects, because I was shooting and hunting by myself at a much younger age. I personally would like to see the addition of ‘unless they have received formal training’ as a requirement.baseballguy2001 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 9:41 am Prosecute the gun owner. Allowing a minor access to a firearm is a crime. These laws are never enforced after a tragedy, and I think it's wrong. Responsible gun owners don't allow unsupervised access to firearms. Period. Throw the book at the gun owner.
And, we don’t know for sure that the parent weren’t allowing the target practice. It appears she shot frequently. Also, we don’t know level of training they had. More than likely little and we don’t know what level the training was.
No matter, a family has lost a child due to negligent handling of a firearm.
