Re: Father to son transfer (handgun)
you must be 21 to purchase a handgun from a dealer, however, you must be at least 18 to receive one from a direct family member, such as mother/father etc, without having to transfer thru a dealer (FFL)
under 18 is generally unlawful to transfer a handgun to, without written permission from the parent or guardian, and only for a lawful purpose.
receiving a handgun from a non family member would not be lawful,as the dealer would not be able to transfer it to you, as private sales on handguns must go thru a dealer so the PICS check can be performed.
rifles and shotguns are ok to buy from a dealer at 18.
