16 Year Old Working In A Gun Shop?

I know some shops that have had 16 yr olds working there. They didn't handle any 4473 forms / sales of guns nor demo'ing any guns, but did about everything else in there. And, they were quite knowledgeable.... at times, more so than some of the other personnel.
 
Federal law is mostly silent on this issue

Correct. At least at one time years ago.
When I owned my gun shop in Indiana my sons, both under age 10, worked in the store selling guns. Both were more knowledgable than most of our customers. For muzzle loading guns they were far more knowledgable than our customers. They were excellent salesmen and better than I could hire. I had checked with AFT prior to letting them help and (at that time) the Feds said there were no age limit restrictions.
