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.

So your basically saying there really is no process for me to receive the handgun from a parent? (I'd like some prof of ownership though, guess thats not possible eh?) I just don't understand how its so simple, it feels like it can't be right, but it is though. Thought things would more strict for handguns. /shrug
