Re: Allowed to buy a pistol at 18?
Does the law actually prohibit the purchase and/or possession, or just bind the seller (I'm looking, but haven't found a solid answer yet)?
Could a generous (older) soul legally *give* handgun ammo to someone under 21?
ETA - my research suggest the prohibition is for "licensed manufacturers or dealers" and prevent them (and only them) from "selling", so I could not only legally give ammo to a 20-year-old, I could intentionally purchase it with the intent to resell it to them, because I am not one of the entities to which the law applies.
I'd welcome a citation to correct me if I'm mistaken.Last edited by gnbrotz; May 21st, 2019 at 05:19 PM.

Federal law prohibits the sale of ammo for handguns, and handguns, to folks under 21yo.
Federal law prohibits giving/selling/providing handguns to folks under 18 privately, with certain exceptions.
State law prohibits possession of a "firearm" under the age of 18", certain exceptions.
State law requires a proper transfer for "firearms" regardless of age, except certain relations, and except bequest/intestate succession.
I don't believe there is an issue with a person 21yo+ giving ammo to a person that is under 21yo. ....I think.
The way I got around it back when I was <21yo was that I bought reloading supplies and rolled my own. Or my dad/mom/uncles gave it to me. ...mostly loaded my own ammo back then. I was the legal owner of a Colt Python and a S&W 459 before I was 21yo. Jefferson Co sheriff transferred the Python from an Uncle to me. And I bought the S&W privately in Florida(no transfer required there, back then).RIP: SFN, 1861, twoeggsup, Lambo, jamesjo, JayBell, 32 Magnum, Pro2A, mrwildroot, dregan, Frenchy, Fragger, ungawa, Mtn Jack, Grapeshot, R.W.J., PennsyPlinker, Statkowski, Deanimator, roland, aubie515
