The ad's emphasis on training and safety are admirable. OTOH, the greater access to firearms for rural youngsters inevitably means more firearms injuries and fatalities (http://goliath.ecnext.com/coms2/gi_0199-1775929/Gun-violence-and-children-factors.html), alongside any benefits. According to the ad, the wife's concern is the boy's young age, not guns or hunting. She probably wouldn't want junior taking flying lessons just yet, either. :-)
(There's something slightly creepy about the idea that "he might not have the chance later", by which I assume the ad means sonny might be down the mine or away at school or something, but suggests that ol' dad may not be long for this world. :-)
