However, any gun-related incidents are not included in the ticket price.
A source told the London Evening Standard, "We decided it would not be appropriate. It's the only sport children will not be able to go to as part of the Ticketshare scheme" .
Johnson decided the young gun in the city's increasing efforts to prevent crime is a part of.
Reaction has been expected.
"There is no link between Olympic-level shooting and crime. It's like saying that a thief would use a Formula One car as a getaway car," said David Penn, secretary of the British Shooting Sports Council.
Olympic pistol hopeful Georgina Geikie said, "This is a chance for children to look at guns in a different way. They are taking away the opportunity for the sport to blossom. How do we educate people that it is a sport if they cannot watch it?"
