RE: Why doesn't my son want to use his new BB gun?
I guess I was around 11 when I got my first bb gun. I had a bow before that and shot it alot. We lived near a city and all the houses were pretty close together so I think that's why my folks waited so long before getting me that first bb gun. Maybe you are in the same situation?
I think the others were right about the brainwashing thing too. And alot depends on what his friends are into. If they don't think shooting is cool then he probably doesn't want to seem like an outsider.
