did an internet search and couldn't find the answer

thanks

Rifle, yes if over 18

Pistol, no (can't legally own if under 21 and therefore cannot sell since not the legal owner).

At least that's my non-legal opinion.

I'm sure that someone will come along shortly to confirm or deny.

but am not the legal eagle here.
Full answer will come in the morning when those that are sleeping now, like I should be, wake up.

got a good deal working on a glock 21 but I noticed from teh guy's profile on gt that he is under 21 so I had to ask him and you guys

thanks

Be careful & be legal.

I will be.

I just did a check and it seems like 18+ can own pretty much any kind of firearm here. Maybe I'm misreading something...

under 21 just can't get CHL but can own a pistol on private property

"State law generally prohibits public possession of a handgun without a chl unless they are engaged in certain approved activities. But the law does not apply to possession of handguns by juveniles on private property"

I could be wrong and please correct me if Im wrong. I belive you can own a handgun if it given to you but you are not allowed to go out and buy one. Also won't be able to buy ammo for it till your 21. But as I said I could be wrong.

There is no age prohibition from owning a handgun. Federal law prohibits a dealer from selling one to a person under 21.

Well, what if he's 20 years old and he told me that his Dad is the legal owner and he has full permission to sell it?

Would that bother anyone?

I knew that we'd get the right answer eventually.

Then why is his Dad allowing him to sell it??? And not Dad..."Full Permission"??? Why???

I would think that there would be no cause for any question at that point...

Run fast, run far my friend, no matter how good a deal this looks to be...This does not pass the smell test...

But thats just my opinion...Others may differ and often do, and that doesn't hurt my feelings one bit...

Your call of coarse but I would want to deal w/ Dad.
If I were you I would suggest getting a lot of documentation.

Personally now. w/ above.
I would have already passed. There will be another deal down the road.

If it is a deal too good to be true & you just cant pass it up,
YOU PROBABLY NEED TO.

My .02cents & some think it worth about half that.

thanks guys I'm going to pass

it really isn't that great of a deal so it's probably legit

$385 for a 2nd gen glock 21 with 2 13 round mags

I'll just wait for the next gun show..

I really want a glock 34 anyway

You are a WISE man.

Good call to wait. I agree that it didn't smell right.
