I thought it would be 16. They are trained to use guns at that age. I have much sympathy with Senator Cummins's amendment No. 16 on the applicant's being accompanied by a parent or guardian. It ensures that the parents are notified that their child is getting this training and may have some input, which is important. If the parent objects to the training certificate, that would have to have weight in the Commissioner's consideration on whether to grant the certificate.
