In Switzerland you can join a Jeunes Tireurs/Jungschützen section sometimes as early as 12 or 13 years old if you're of Swiss origin. Adults and clubs can legally loan firearms to minors to use them at the range for training or for competition.
Switzerland has relatively few gun accidents involving children each year, thanks to strict storage requirements and a culture of firearm safety. Public health data suggests that accidental shootings involving minors are rare, often in the single digits annually.
And Swiss don’t do any gun training with children.
Guns are for adults. Like driving. Voting and drinking alcohol or using a prostitute.
Get over yourself. Your American destructive gun culture is showing.
@streetmgkgva@lemonsquirt3d Magazines and guns can't be loaded during transport, but at home ammo doesn't have to be separate from the guns. You can legally keep weapons loaded at home.
Btw, this age limit is dependent on the club for the federal Jungschützen program, but there's no age limit to shoot a gun under supervision in Switzerland. A range in Geneva offers kid classes 11 and up, I've seen even younger kids at private indoor ranges

@Lor_blueeyes Between 8000 and 8500 in the program each year, with a 60% increase in young girls joining over the last decade. You might not like it but I don't think the Swiss federal government gives a crap about your opinion
