Not directed at anyone. I post the same thing on every one of these threads that pops up.

Buy a gun. Let him use it while he is with you/on the hunting trip with you. No one will care of the silly legality of it. The transfer law that may or may not make that illegal was a badly written law that no one enforces in a hunting situation, and was not the intention of the law. The reason you get conflicting info is because it is all speculation, no one has ever been charged with that type of infraction even though it takes place all the time. Not unsimilar to jay-walking, it may be illegal but no one will enforce it.

Until you are the one they enforce it on. Just a matter of time. My wife got a jaywalking ticket years ago.

Who and How would they enforce it? No fish and Game officer will be asking about gun ownership. The only way anything would come of it is if the kids parents disapprove and complain to someone who has authority and is a gun control advocate... even then the chances are slim because the law is badly written and never intended to stop this type of transfers in a hunting situation, so it still wouldn't go anywhere. As long as everything else is on-board, no poaching, legal everywhere, being safe, parents approve, it would never go anywhere.

The truth is the law is ambiguous and poorly written and never enforced so it is left to us who have no real experience with any of it to banter about what is legal or not, no one really know because there has never been any court cases about it. (and in my opinion will never be any court cases that deal with a hunting situation)
