[QUOTE="charliewhisky, post: 1898152, member: 26716"] There is a Netflix series called "Fortitude" available now. The setting for this detective series is an Arctic community just coming out of the long dark period when Polar Bears are dam hungry and expected everywhere. I have watched several episodes and I was very interested to note that in the very first scenes there is a young girl, perhaps 12 years old but, maybe less, and her friend out goofing off alone along the shore. She has a rifle slung over her shoulder and the butt stock is about level with her knees and the barrel extends past the top of her head. She looks as familiar with it as if it were a Barbie doll. I assume that it must be, at a minimum, 30-06. No one gives her a second glance. You see her later in a grocery store with a shopping cart and the rifle is thrown in there with the milk. A new visitor coming to the town is told to buy his own rifle. A cop stops two snowmobiles and sends them back to town because they don't have a rifle for protection. So, the answer to your question is dependent on the age of the child, the threat environment, their maturity, and your ability to protect them every second. [/QUOTE]
