I disagree with buying a 10/22 because it’s still a firearm for your age and you’re not going to get anything out of buying any firearm you don’t know how to train with, so instead, start solo-training and invest in training aids that will help you actually be a good shooter, instead of a person with a gun. Get a SIRT pistol with the green laser first and a airsoft pistol(gas blowback); IWB or OWB holster; pact timer(or shooting app) and IPSC cardboard targets and paint the A zone orange. Your green laser will show up yellow on orange to verify hits and YouTube is free. The airsoft gun is to help you work on mechanics. It’s not hard to be an advance shooter by the time you legally age to own a firearm. A lot of folks by a gun first and then training aids later and you’re in the perfect position to avoid that mistake. Another note, now’s the time to train and learn the legal parameters of self-defense, because when you become of age you’ll get excited about buying a gun and the last thing you’ll want to do is buy a safe; consider self-defense insurance; laminate your ccw; and do all the unsexy stuff, at least for awhile.
