I just had a conversation with my wife about this.

She grew up in Humbolt County, CA on a farm and I grew up in Brooklyn in the street. I always figured 9 or 10 was the right age - she said she was 10 when her dad gave her a pocket knife and a bb gun. I was about the same age.

The talk you had with your boy and laying out guidelines was good parenting obviously. It's all about responsibility ... and it's a big one for a boy to learn.

Sounds like your wife is ok with it after the fact but that's definitely a mutual parenting decision, IMHO.
