Even if the child owns the rifle of their own. (For hunting reasons of course is why the child would own it. But most people that hunt with kids they're 6/7 years old and start to hunt at that age. I did as well, just didn't enjoy it as much).
Precisely, accidents happen during hunting trips sometimes but one can avoid being accidentally shot at in the house if proper gun care is practised. In particular I'm sure a lot of hunting families are more careful with their guns than normal families since their parents taught them well so these things are always a matter of how far one's willing to go to be careful around dangerous objects that are rendered harmless if used properly.
It's just like cooking recipes for children: You hand them a knife, you watch them as they use it or maybe you teach them first by showing them before you keep the knife away.
