Is there a single sheriff's office that does handgun transfers to 18-20 y/o here?

[Paulsterino]

I'll travel across the entire state if i have to find a sheriffs office that will do one. I'm 18 and am a new resident of Philly after moving from NJ I've wanted a glock 19 for like 5 years and am trying to do anything in my power to get one legally. Please let me know if anyone knows of one anywhere

I have never heard of sheriff's conducting transfers and it sounds like you are still a few years shy of legally possessing a handgun anyhow?

Yeah, I'm 95% sure you can't buy a handgun in any manner until you are 21.

The only way I'm aware of a person under 21 owning a handgun is by having it gifted to them by a parent or grandparent.

A small thing but he can legally possess a handgun. Getting one is harder if you are under 21 and he can not get a ltcf...... but he can legally possess a gun under many situations.

He does and he is pursuing an avenue that could legally work. He is asking Pa gun owners for input on any sheriffs who might allow him to follow this avenue. Seems like a logical step before calling all the sheriffs in Pa.

He might be out of luck, but sometimes the only way to figure things out is by asking.

This site is a gun owners page which used to be big on gun rites. Hell not long ago it was widely believed open carry was ileagal. This site had a hand in getting the word out and it was eventually added to the state police training manual.

Is the tone of this response the best way to create new gun owners? No... Not at all. In fact it seems like he knows a bit about the law.

Unfortunately there aren't any known Sheriff's who will do this transfer. You'll have to wait until you're 21 unless you have a parent/grandparent in-state to gift you a handgun.
