In the United States, federal law prohibits individuals under the age of 21 from purchasing a handgun from a licensed dealer. However, some states may have exceptions or different laws regarding handgun ownership for individuals who are 18 years old. It is important to check the specific laws in your state regarding handgun ownership at 18 years old.
