The minimum legal age requirement in Florida is 18 years old to purchase and possess any firearm.
Florida Statute 790.17 says: Furnishing weapons to minors under 18 years of age or persons of unsound mind and furnishing firearms to minors under 18 years of age prohibited.-(1) A person who sells, hires, barters, lends, transfers, or gives any minor under 18 years of age any dirk, electric weapon or device, or other weapon, other than an ordinary pocketknife, without permission of the minor's parent or guardian, or sells, hires, barters, lends, transfers, or gives to any person of unsound mind an electric weapon or device or any dangerous weapon, other than an ordinary pocketknife, commits a misdemeanor of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
(2)(a) A person may not knowingly or willfully sell or transfer a firearm to a minor under 18 years of age, except that a person may transfer ownership of a firearm to a minor with permission of the parent or guardian. A person who violates this paragraph commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
Florida law does not prohibit an 18 year old from purchasing a handgun, however, many FFL dealers will not sell a handgun to an 18 yr. old for a variety of reasons.
Also, the minimum age at which a CCW permit may be obtained in Florida is 21 years. So an 18 yr. old may own and possess any firearm he is not otherwise legally prevented from owning, but may not carry concealed until age 21.
in Florida you have to be 21 to carry a concealed weapon, but 18 to buy one.
At 18, you can only buy Title I long guns (ordinary rifles and shotguns). You cannot buy a handgun or NFA restricted items until you're 21. That's federal law, and does not vary between states.
It depends on what you mean. If you mean carrying a gun other than on your own personal property, you must have a carry permit.
18 for long guns, 21 for hand guns.
It's 21 in Florida for a permit.
21 or older.
Florida requires you to be at least 21.
Texas does not require a license to possess a firearm. A license to CARRY a concealed firearm requires that you be 21.
No! ANYONE carrying a rilfe concealed in, or under, a piece of clothing is violating the law, and carrying a concealed weapon.

In MOST of the US, there is no license to OWN a firearm- there are licenses to carry a concealed firearm, and licenses to hunt. While rules vary state to state, in most cases, you must be 21 to obtain a concealed weapons license, and hunters may be licensed at around 14-15 years old. You may purchase a rifle or shotgun at 18, and 21 for handguns.
You don't ever have to shoot if you don't want to.
You have to be 16 to get a Drivers License in the state of Florida. You can get your Learners Permit at age 15. But, if you turn 18 and are without a Learners Permit (or license), you can skip the permit and get the license after the basic driving tests.
Yes you can. As long as the license plate is under your name and its less than 5 years old.
