My son is now old enough (16 years) that I feel it is time for him to start learning to shoot.
What I mean is a working, general knowledge of firearms. Not necessarily hunting or competition, just the basics that most of us learned growing up in the non-PC era.
A few questions I am posing to the forum here:
I know it's probably a judgment call, but I am interested in input from folks who have teenagers or who have taught teenagers.
Corollary: (probably off topic, so ignore if you want) - Why is it so difficult to get .22 LR?

A few questions I am posing to the forum here:
- Is training him up on a small weapon like a .22 pistol the right way to get started?
- 2. Is it worthwhile to put him through a formal basic firearms course?
