gun for 4 year old

[argie1891]

I found this on another forum and was wondering if I was the only one who would think this guy is not using good judgment anyway here is the post

My son shoots my AR right now. 223 doesn't have a lot of recoil with them. He shot a deer this year during the youth season, 64gr soft point. It's nice to shorten the stock up for him. Next yr though I'll prob bump him up to my 300blk for a little more knock down.

For a single shot option, my niece has a CVA Hunter which is a break action. Think they make it in 223 243 and possibly 308. The 223 would be about right with a 4 yr old. Hers is a 243, which would be a bit much still. They are very budget friendly too, check out Academy, even comes with a scope.

I think the 223 and 64gr is a  good choice for deer.   

Now, letting a 4 yr old shoot deer........does seem a little bit young.

Are we absolutely sure that someone isn't tugging on lower limbs? I know everything's true if it's on the internet, but...

I was under the impression that 223 was not a caliber allowed for big game, other than cougar.

That’s just Washington. It is legal elsewhere .
And i have no idea why a 4 year old is shooting deer.

I shot my first deer at 5 years old in South Carolina sitting in a stand with my father shooting a lever action 32 special. I went hunting with my dad at age 3 and would sit at the base of his ladder stand while he was in the ladder for the morning and evening hunts, every weekend of the season. Based off that texted post above we know absolutely nothing about the location, situation or education of the kid and adult supervising him on a hunt. No information given to judge. Some kids have it in them young to hunt, shoot and kill, others don't.

I don't see a 4 year old with a gun being a safe or smart idea

BB gun

4 year old = nerf gun in my opinion.

[Holg3107]

At 4 years old Nerf or at most a good old Red Rider BB gun.

IMO way too dang young.

Might have been a Typo meant for 14
That would make more sense to me

Everything he just said.  The rest of the US is not the same as here snd,we do not have any information. Basically jumping to judgement is exactly how anti gunners would spin that text.
