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.
