Hello...
My best friend and I like to shoot quite a bit. Both of us have spent quite a bit of time teaching the kiddos gun safety starting at age 5. I don't think this is too young, but opinions may differ. We both always have guns locked up in safes, ammo locked up separately. You don't think age 5 is too young to learn the basics on a .22LR pistol? I wasn't taught much until my early teens.
On a side note, I went over to his house to meet up and take his older boys to the range. His youngest son just turned 5. So, Dad was getting his gear together and had his pistol out. The youngest was curious, so my friend took the time to teach him some basic safety. After he finished the lesson, he asked his boy if he had any questions. That little guy looked up at him and said, "Pew Pew!" We both smiled at him, looked at each other, and said, "Yes." It was a great moment.
