Where are you located in AB? you know it doesn't help if you're super vague. You could be in Calgary, Ft Mac, GP, Claresholm, or Milk River for all we know.

Kids can't own these guns or be gifted them period (at least in Ontario because it's specifically spelled out in the Provincial statutes, other provinces may have different wordings or different statutes). They are the property of the supervising adult and the adult takes responsibility for any use/misuse.

I know AB is more gun friendly especially for kids in the boonies and on farms who varmint hunt with .22's and stuff. There's no reason why you can't use it but you should do so under direct parent supervision.
