No you do not have to be a gun expert to own a gun. As long as you are of legal age to own a firearm and you do not have any felony offenses on your record, you can own a gun.
Unless there is some legal factor which prevents you from possessing a firearm (e.g.: you are a convicted felon or convicted of domestic abuse), there is no legal prohibition against having one, especially at 18 years of age.
Firearm laws vary state to state, but here in Colorado, you must be 18 to purchase a firearm. To own...there really is no legal age requirement. My dad gave me my frst .22 for my 10th birthday.
Depending on state law and the type of firearm, this may or may not be legal. Federal law for possession of handguns is usually allowed at age 18. There is no federal limit regarding possession of long guns (rifles and shotguns). Federal law age limits for purchase from a dealer are 18 for long guns and 21 for handguns and handgun ammunition. For federal firearm laws, those under 18 are refered to as juveniles and those between 18 and 21 are refered to as minors. So by federal law, possession of a firearm by a minor is usually legal. See Title 18 US Code 922.
It would depend on what typr of firearm you wish to purchase. It would depend on what typr of firearm you wish to purchase.
Yes- it IS possible- IF you have some skill in metal working. The pressures involved are significant, and can be dangerous IF you do not follow proper procedures. In the US, it is legal to make a gun for your own use, so long as it is a legal type firearm (no sawed off shotguns, machineguns, etc) However, if you are under age, you still cannot legally possess a firearm.
You must consult with a lawyer familiar with MA firearms law for a legal and correct answer. The details of the incident will be a factor.
