It depends on where you are. I'm unaware of any U.S. federal law requiring a minimum age, but I have heard that some states have laws to that effect. You have to be 21 or older to OWN or PURCHASE a handgun, but if the person under 21 has legal possession of it, it is legal to shoot it. Some shooting ranges have age requirements, but some don't, and most shooting organizations have junior divisions.
