51. I think 14 is a bit young to employ guns for possible defensive purposes.
I had shotguns and rifles from age 10 but didn't really think of them in terms of a potential shooting of a human, they were for putting tasty critters in the frying pan or stewpot. :D
But on reflection, that was a very long time ago when we didn't bother to lock the doors and the concept of home invasions hadn't yet been invented. I do believe if I still lived where I did then and had a 14 yo kid, I would definitely school him or her in the basics of armed self-defense.
