Sounds like the place I grew up.In the family and small town where I grew up, kids were often introduced to guns at 4-6, got a pellet rifle around 8-10, and were often given a .22 rifle at around 12.
Obviously it depends on the kid, and there were some that were dumb enough that their parents never gave them one. They often bought their own or borrowed their brother's, and proved their parents right.
