North Carolina Firearms Laws
VI. AGE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PURCHASE AND POSSESSION OF
WEAPONS
North Carolina law does not currently address specific age requirements for the
purchase of weapons. Rather, it looks to the federal standards for such restrictions. Under
federal law, 18 U.S.C. § 922(b)(1), federally licensed gun dealers are prohibited from selling
handguns to persons under the age of 21. Further, all other purchasers of shotguns and
rifles are required to be at least 18 years of age.
