For a long gun you have to be 18. For a handgun you have to be 18.
No
18 for a shotgun/hunting rifle, and 21 for a handgun.
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.
Federal law requires that the barrel be no less than 18" long as measured from the front of the chamber (at the forcing cone).
Yes. Virginia law does not prohibit a person at least 18 years of age from POSSESSING a handgun. However, FEDERAL law will not permit you to PURCHASE a handgun OR handgun ammunition until you are 21. Virginia law does permit certain person UNDER 18 to possess a handgun in limited circumstances (permission of parents, instructional class, etc)
By federal law you may own or possess a handgun at age 18, but you cannot purchase handgun ammo or a handgun from a dealer until age 21.
At least 18. To buy a handgun from a dealer, 21.
Georgia law requires that you be at least 18 years of age to possess either a handgun or long gun such as a rifle or shotgun. While you can legally own a handgun in Georgia at 18 years of age, Federal law requires you to be at least 21 years of age before you can purchase a handgun.
18. However, Federal law requires that you be 21 to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in any state.
