Congratulations in the tranisiton you are making in life from a child to an adult. I'm guess part of your parrents discussion is about your maturity and it might not be as much about a firearm. How are your grades? Do you get in trouble much at home or outside of the house? How responsible are you in getting your chores done with minimal compliaining and doing them well? Have you been avoiding drugs and alcohol? Do you have plans to go on to college or learn a good career/trade? Have you gotten speeding tickets or accidents if you have started driving? These are the things you can influence and may influence their decision. If you could find some small part time job (mowing lawns, etc) that won't impact your school work or home chores that could help. If I were them and you were doing good in the above stuff I might say yes but tie it to you to saving/paying 50% to learn about the value of saving money. Good luck and respect their decision whatever it is. You will be 18 soon enough. I remember my 18th birthday like it was yesterday and I'm now 43.
