Although it’s generally illegal for minors to possess firearms, there are some exceptions for hunting and other appropriate uses. It is illegal for minors to possess a gun in a school or other educational facility, so it would be very unsafe for your son to bring a gun to school. In the case of a firearm bring by a minor, the parent or guardian would be held legally liable for any related criminal actions. It is best for your son to stay away from firearms, and to follow all laws and school policies related to firearms. If you are concerned about safety, contact your local law enforcement or school authorities for assistance.
