Best Answer

You have to be 21, have money, pass a NCIC check.

That answer is true, IF you are purchasing a handgun from a licensed dealer. Most states allow person to person non dealer transfers as long as both people can legally own the gun, however a few states don't allow that so you have to go through a licencsed dealer.
