How old were you when you owned your first gun?

Had a bb gun growing up but don't remember what age. 8 or 9 maybe.
Bought my first 12 gauge at age 16 when I started deer hunting.

"owned"?? .22 rifle at the age of 16 which now belongs to my son. First handgun and shotgun at the age of 22. Didn't consider myself a late starter though since I could "borrow" rifles or shotguns from friends or relatives at a much earlier age. My son has owned guns earlier than I did but only had access to them when I was with him until a later age (they were all locked and I had the keys).
There is a difference between owning a gun and really "owning" a gun.

Good taste in guns at an early age. The Wingmaster is a great shotgun. Mine actually was mfg when I was 16 although I bought it used much later. It still is my favorite shotgun.
A couple of BB and very nice Crossman CO2 pellet gun around 10-11 though I used to sneak out my Dad's ancient BB gun before that when they were gone.
Wanted a .22 (the now legendary Nylon 66) but could never convince my Mom - father was neutral.
So bought first weapons later in life probably around 30 when purchased first military surplus bolt action rifles.
