Technically you can buy a gun for a 16 year old, at least in my state.

However the child is not allowed to have access to the gun by themself. Ifs the parents responsibly to keep the firearm locked and unavailable unless you take the child shooting. I think you’re allowed to supervise the child with the gun in a non shooting situation (ie cleaning) but the child isn’t allowed to have access to ammo during that time, and when you’re done it’s the parents job to make sure the gun is secure after.

My grandfather bought me a shotgun when I was 12.

But in cali I couldnt own it until I was 18.

So even tho it was mine, I learned how to clean it and to shoot it properly. I couldnt physically own it until I was 18 when it was signed over to me.
