It will usually depend on: Where you are, What type of firearm(BB, Airsoft, real pistols or rifles, I know not everyone considers all of these to be firearms, but I do because they mechanically fire a potentially lethal projectiles), if you or your parents buy it, ,and if you live near a warehouse where Jimmy from down the street sells illegal firearms. So as you can tell there is a lot of variation on how old you must be.
