casselthief,
My dad bought me my first gun when I was 8 (BB gun).
You can start her off on gun safety with a water gun. Teacher her to point it in a direction where it won't shoot someone, and teacher her to keep her finger out of the trigger guard. After awhile, she'll be ready for the range. (You can also let her handle real guns that are unloaded in the house.)
My dad took all of us to the range as children. Of course, we didn't dare venture too far.
Also, don't expect to stay long at the range when she's with you. Youngsters do have short attention spans.

I don't like the govt meddling unnecessarily in ppl's business.
