18 for a rifle or shotgun; 21 for a handgun.

This answer is false.

You may purchase a rifle and or shotgun at 18, correct, however in terms of handguns, you may conceal or purchase from a FEDERALLY licensed dealer only at 21, however the age to PURCHASE a handgun varies county by county, in my county for example (Cabarrus) a person may receive a purchase permit at the age of 18, provided they submit to a background check and provide refrences to the sheriff. if you are under 21 you must either receive the gun as a gift or purchase it from a private seller AND present a purchase permit at time of sale.
