That's a very generic question. In general, handguns are not illegal, but there are restrictions.

Felons cannot normally own handguns (there are some exceptions). You must be at least 21 in order to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer. In most states, you cannot carry a handgun on your person concealed unless you have a permit, but in some states you can. It is illegal in most cities to fire a handgun within the city limits unless you are at a shooting range or are using the gun in some other sort of legal way (such as an organized demonstration or in self defense).

If there is anything else specific you want to know, repost the question.
