It depends on what you mean. Generally speaking, there is no license to "use a firearm." In most U.S. states, a non felon 21 years or older can get a permit to carry a handgun, but the permit, in and of itself, doesn't give you any right to use the gun, only to carry it. In order to justifiably use the gun in self defense, your life must be in danger. Other uses, such as target shooting, don't require a license (at least, not in most states).

What kind of license is required to legally collect antique guns?

Depends on where you are, and the laws that govern that place. In MOST of the US, no license is required. However, in firearms, "antique" has a legally defined meaning. Firearms that use loose powder and ball are antiques regardless of age. Cartridge firearms made prior to 1899 are antiques. They are NOT firearms under Federal law- they are Antique Firearms, and in most ways, treated as if they were not guns.There IS a Federal Firearms License for Collectors- known as a C&R or an 03 Curio and Relics Collectors License. It is not required, but permits a collector to buy firearms from another state and have them shipped directly to them. It covers firearms that are 50 years old or older.
