That's a very difficult question to answer as asked. Some states allow citizens to carry handguns openly without a permit, a couple of states (AZ and VT) allow concealed carry without a permit. Some states have a lot of restrictions on where you can carry even if you have a permit, some states have only a few. Many states will issues handgun permits to any non-felon that applies. Most states are similar in purchase requirements. You can purhcase or own a handgun at 18 in some states as long as it was not purchased through a dealer. In order to purchase a handgun from a dealer, you must be at least 21 per federal law.
Which handgun law? Georgia, as well as every other state, has hundreds of handgun laws.
Local, State or Federal laws
Every state has laws and rules regarding the carrying of firearms. Check the laws for your state for any specific limitations.
Each state has it's own laws concerning handgun purchases (each country too). The best way to find out what your specific state requires is to look it up in the books, or on the internet, or the old fashioned way, ask a local cop. I think most states at 18 years old you can buy a handgun by yourself. Actually, asking a local cop is not a good way to find out about handgun laws. Checking with a reputable local gun store is usually the easiest way, but that's beside the point. Regardless, there is no such thing as a cosigner for a handgun. Most states (but not all) allow people under 21 to own or possess a handgun, and handguns can be given as a gift as long as the receiver qualifies to own the gun under their state laws. If your state law allows ownership of a handgun under the age of 21, you can purchase a handgun from an individual, or have a parent purchase the handgun from a licensed dealer for you as a gift (to be legal under federal law, it has to be a legitimate gift).
That depends on the state you're in. Be sure to check your state's gun-laws.
The question can't be answered as asked. It depends on state laws, and laws are different in different states.

It depends on what you mean exactly. You can transport an unloaded handgun in your vehicle while you travel as long as the handgun isn't accessible to you.
