We live in a smaller town outside of Eugene. We do live in our small city's limits. Our backyard backs up to a greenway and it's fenced in. We have a dead end street on the side and a neighbor on the other side.
My husband and I are not gun enthusiasts. We've never owned guns. I grew up around them, but my husband did not. So both of us know very little about laws or what's permitted and what isn't. . I do know gun safety from growing up around them.
Our 13 yr old son has finally worn me down to let him have one. The one he got is electric and shoots at 330fps.
Is it legal for him to target practice in our backyard or should we drive him somewhere?
If it is legal, would you still advise it? I do not want my innocent teen being shot because a nosy neighbor though he had a real gun and was a danger to someone. We do not know our neighbors very well, but the one next to us is a retired cop and the next to him is a cop. Our neighbors across from the dead end are both teachers. So, I'm also taking that into consideration. I have a strong respect for following the laws and making sure I set a good example for him. I don't want to allow him to do something that could potentially get either of us in trouble or killed.
Thanks in advance,
A worried mama!
