Can a 18 year old buy a handgun?

Federal law says you must be 21 to purchase a handgun from a dealer. SOME states may permit a person between 18 and 21 to purchase a handgun from a private seller that is NOT a licensed dealer. This varies from state to state- most do not, but check the law in YOUR state- and check the state law for POSSESSION of a handgun by a person under 21.

In the US, you must be 21 to PURCHASE a handgun from a dealer (Federal law). Possession of a handgun is regulated by STATE law, and varies from one state to another- 18 for some, 21 for some. Without knowing which state you are in, we cannot be more specific.

That is a very broad question, because it depends on what you mean. You can use a handgun for target shooting, competitive matches, or self defense. You posted the question under the State and Federal law category. If you are referring to laws, the law varies from state to state, so it depends on what you mean and in which state you are located.

It depends on what you mean. Federal law says you cannot purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer unless you are 21 or older. You can, however, purchase a handgun from an individual if you are under 21 if the state you are in allows it. Some do, some don't.


Canadian wants to buy hand gun in New york state?

In the U.S. you can only buy a handgun within the state where you officially reside. You can have a handgun shipped from another state to the state where you are and pick it up at a gun shop within your home state (this is called a transfer). I doubt Canadian law will allow a local gun shop to ship a handgun to a person in Canada, however, I admittedly know very little about Canadian law.

Depends on where you live- you did not share what state or country you live in. In much, but not all of the US, you may possess a handgun at 18. You may not purchase a handgun from a dealer until you are 21 (Federal law applies to all states) and you may not purchase handgun ammo.
