Looks like the vote is running pretty 50/50 right now.
I tho will vote for a pellet gun .. rifle or pistol. BB's are a bit ''lame'' whereas a decent pellet gun is actually not only potentially quite accurate but .. requires just the same safety procedures of any gun .... and is sufficiently powerful to at least allow for ''ratting'' perhaps.
Mind you .. anyone starting with a BB gun had better be taught the safety drills - just the same!!
Once profiency in handling (is PROVEN) .... and the actual (competant)shooting of this starter, then ... a .22 is a great next move.
