Pretty much the same criteria as in most of the US. You need to be old enough (18 for rifle or shotgun, 21 for handgun) You cannot be an illegal alien, a person convicted of a felony OR domestic violence. You cannot have been adjudged mentally incompetent, be under a restraining order, a fugitive from Justice, or have been dishonorably discharged from the military. You need identification to show who you are, your age, and where you live. Go find a dealer, find a gun you like, fill out the paperwork at the dealer. They will conduct a background check with the FBI. Oh- you also need money to pay for your gun.

∙ 14y agoThey vary slightly for handguns and long guns. You must be of legal age (18 long gun, 21 hand gun) and not have a history that would prevent you from passing the background check, conducted by the dealer. That would include such things as a felony conviction, domestic violence conviction, under indictment or a fugitive, being an illegal alien, being under a restraining order, mentally incompetent, dishonorably discharged from the military, or a drug addict. For handguns, you must ALSO be a resident of PA. You will need ID to show who you are, your age, and address. Oh- and money to pay for the gun! Visit a local gun shop, and talk with the staff about the process.

Do you need a gun permit to buy a shotgun in Georgia?
Nope you just need to be eighteen or have an adult by the gun with or for you, the only time you'd need a license is if you are planning on hunting game The answer of 'you only need to be 18 or have an adult buy the gun with/for you' is INCORRECT within the state of PENNSYLVANIA, [IF YOU PURCHASE FROM A RETAILER]. It may be true that an 'adult' may buy the gun for you in the state of PA, HOWEVER, the adult must fill out a PA state firearms 'purchase' form, and it is then called into the PA State Police (right then and there as you wait) to get 'accepted' or 'rejected' to purchase the firearm(s). If for any reason the PA State Police reject's the application to purchase the firearm(s), there is a form one can fill out to 'challenge the rejection'.
