Pistol shooting alone on private property as a minor?

[Soulbleeder1414]

My question is only because I'm a minor at 14 with law related acceptances on fire arms due to being a hunter, range shooter, competition shoots, accepted saftey courses., ect. Now to my question my parent would like to get me .22 rim fire pistol. Now when I say get me, I know that's illegal and I don't aprove but I mean in my mothers name in my safe kind of deal, on the property shooting only. And since I have a home range would that be acceptable? Are there any circumstances to the related issue or thing I have to do to be able to do that? Or is it a simple yes? All awnsers are appreciated thank you for your time.

I can't cite any law but I would think you are ok as long as you have supervision by your parents or another adult that has a license to carry firearms. She can not let you have it on your own until you are 18.

It's a simple "no" to target shooting alone as a minor.
