R rated films
Driver's License
Joining the military (compulsory)

Notable exceptions are:
Gambling - 15
Firearm License - 15
Age of consent - 16
>125cc Motorbike License 20
>22% liquor - 20

firearm 15

what the fuck

we can shoot fairly young over here too, i think i first played with rifles when i was 14? surprised at the 125cc restriction though. for us its 16 (50cc), 17-21 (125cc or 31bhp chipped) 21+ no reg

firearm restriction is 18 but 15 year-olds can get one with parents' permission. You also need proof for needing said weapon (e.g hunting license or membership of a shooting range etc.) plus you have to go see a shrink for mental health documentation plus you get interviewed by two police officers. Then you can be granted the permission to buy a gun. So unlike it might seem, we dont just give out guns to every 9th grader. Basically you can only get a shotgun or a .22 pistol / rifle when you are underage. Possibly a bigger rifle if you take part in a elk hunting association.

15 for <50cc here, 16 for <125cc and then 20 for >125cc

Shooting itself or even hunting in your guardian's supervision, with their weapons is not limited by age whatsoever. It's just that you need the licenses to do this stuff alone.

so your drinking age isnt really 18...

i wish we had a tiered drinking system. being able to buy vodka at the same age as chocolate liquers is retarded

Wow, I got my first shotgun at 13 and had been shooting since 6...

My 9 year old can group an 11 round mag onto a 2 inch bullseye from 30 feet with a Browning Buckmark .22 handgun with no issues... 20 rounds in a 2 inch bullseye from 80 feet with a .22 cricket rifle.

Man, now I want to go shooting.
