See anything wrong?
I really hope some of the above opinions are part of an aprils fool... Considering it to be a good idea to hand over a gun to a 4 year old, out of a misunderstanded motive of "starting young" is scary... I think things are getting out of line for you... I'm sure you're a loving and devoted father, but things are getting out of line... Time to rethink the strategy for starting young...
Failed logic. Some things are more dangerous than others. Using a gun is one of them. Some things are just not for kids!!!
Failed logic! Because you do dangerous stuff anyway, it's ok to do it with your children??!! No!
I do support the notion on kids starting early with different stuff... but no need to leave the brain at home when doing it...
I don't even want to bother on spelling out what a kids cognitive ability is at 4 years old, and how many factors are at play when freediving and especially spearing. I just hope it's enough with a wake up call!!!! --> Rethink strategy.
Btw, no need at all to worry he will be a teenage punk doing wrong stuff if not starting early: With a good average fathering and guidance, he will grow up just fine even if he starts spearing at the age of 85 years, that's the most likely outcome anyway...
I wish you good luck on you and your sons common hobby and development, I'm sure it will be a good thing for both of you... if you rethink a little...
On a bigger note:
It seems to me like some spearos kind of leave logic and reasoning, once they taken the big step of leaving the safety rules behind and diving alone... like it's an "all or nothing" aproach: If you do one thing you really think you shouldn't, you might just do whatever you like, whatever it is...
Doing spearing is to me a fairly dangerous thing, including a calculated BIG risk... OK, it's your call, a grown up descission... but don't drag kids into that!:rcard
Still hope it's a joke...

Im a very firm believer in encouraging young children to participate in activities from a young age, whether they are considered dangerous, as there are risks and dangers involved in pretty much every activity/sport/hobby.

And as it goes with free dive instructors they would b horrified of pretty all us spearos as very little follow the corect techniqus . .
