It is legal to hunt at 12 years old in some states.

Edit: I bought enough trigger locks for all my long guns and pistols for under $100. There is no excuse not to have them installed and I live alone. My guns are also in a locker as well as trigger locked. My ammo is in a different room in a safe box screwed to the closet floor from inside the locked box. All this was well under $200 including the gun locker.

    I don't think there's an age limit for hunting in my country, either. I did have a couple of shotguns for the purpose.

    To get a license for them I had to pass an exam identifying all game, even by silhouette. And I had to pop in for a quick interview at the police station before applying for a weapon's license.

    I feel like those hoops would filter out 95% of those looking to get weapons fpr illicit purposes. In the case of a handgun, you'd need to show a long-lasting interest in either range shooting or hunting game that hide in dens.
