That is too broad of a question to answer. In the entire U.S. there are 20,000 gun laws or more. Are you interested in any specific circumstance or law?

In Florida can you kill a snake with a handgun if you posses a concealed weapons permit?

I'll give the answer a shot (no pun intended). It depends on the circumstances. The handgun permit and handgun permit laws allow you legally carry a handgun, but the handgun permit laws don't specify when you can use the gun. When you can use the gun is covered under the state's deadly force laws. So, if a snake is attacking you and you have no other choice but to shoot it, it's probably ok. If you're talking about randomly shooting snakes that you see on the side of the highway or somewhere, probably not.

How do you ship your handgun to Hawaii?

You may ship a handgun to yourself by UPS or FedEx. Both require next day Air, which is rather expensive. You may not MAIL a handgun by US Mail unless you are a dealer. It may be less expensive to pay a dealer to mail it for you. If traveling by air it is possible to check a handgun with your airline as CHECKED- not carry-on- baggage. Be sure to check Hawaiian law- fairly strict gun laws.

Can adult gift a handgun to an 15 year old?

Depends on the laws where you are- we get questions from SEVERAL nations, and laws vary. In the US, it will vary by state. The issue is not so much "can a minor own a handgun" as it is "Can a minor POSSESS a handgun?" Surprisingly, the answer MAY be yes- with the permission of the Minor's parents, on their own property, or in some instances, when the minor has the written permission of the parents. In some places, a 15 yr old may be working on a ranch, and be permitted to carry a handgun. While I would like to be able to give you a definitive yes/no answer, there are too many variables to do so. Sorry-

Depends to some extent on the laws where you live- and you did not share your location with us. In the US, under Federal law (which applies to ALL states) you must be 21 to purchase a handgun from a dealer. In SOME states, you may purchase a handgun from a private citizen at age 18 and above. Other states require that you be 21.

When present in the US, you are subject to US law, no matter what your citizenship is. There are exceptions for certain diplomatic personnel, but for an aveage citizen, US law applies. A US citizen visiting another country is subject to the laws of THAT country. I am a US citizen, and US law permits me to own and carry a handgun. If I were in a country that did not permit private ownership of handguns, I would be subject to arrest if I carried a handgun there.
