    Default Craziest 18th birthday present ever... I HAVE to brag.

    I've been 18 years old as of 2 days ago (Woohoo! All the liability of an adult with none of the rights!) I asked for a handgun for my birthday. My parents pretty much said, "Hell no." (Oh well, can't win em all =P) My First two presents were pretty typical of my birthday. A watch and an electric razor. 2 things that I really needed. Pretty good so far.

    Then I stumbled across this Extra-husky envelope... Opened it...

    I'm gonna be dropping out of an airplane several thousand feet from sea-level with my dad tomarrow O_O

    Anyone got an 18th birthday present that tops that? XD

    Yeah.
    Sitting, safely, and securely on my dining room chair, eating cake.

    That pretty much tops having the earth hurling towards your face at a gazillion miles per hour!



    But that's just me... have at it, wildman!

    Happy birthday!
    I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

    Congrats man!

    Me and my bro got skydiving certificates for some birthday one year but I think we were about 16.

    We did about 8 jumps and started needing money for other stuff.

    It's fun as hell. Good luck!

    1. They couldn't have "bought you a handgun" for your 18th, as far as I know.
    2. Skydiving is fun. Ever done it before? It's a fuckin' blast.

    Yes they can:

    18 PaCS §6110.1(a) (Possession of firearm by minor.)
    Except as provided in subsection (b), a person
    under 18 years of age shall not possess or transport a firearm
    anywhere in this Commonwealth.

    18 PaCS §6111(c) (Relating to the Sale or transfer of firearms)
    ... The provisions of this section shall not
    apply to transfers between spouses or to transfers between a
    parent and child or to transfers between grandparent and
    grandchild.

    So someone who is over the age of 18 may posses a firearm given to them by their parents.

    I stand corrected. That's why I added the "as far as I know" line to my post. Thanks for the eddumication

    Yes they could. Handguns can be sold or gifted to people of 18+ years from parents or grandparents.

    And no, I've never done it before. I'm going to make damn sure that my bladder is empty beforehand.


    EDIT:

    Lildobe beat me to it =P
