If it's only a misdomeanor charge then yes. If it's a felony charge, and you get convicted that gun would suddenly become illegal. It's probably not a wise thing to do either way.
No, it is not legal to buy a handgun at the age of 18. The minimum age to purchase a handgun in the United States is 21.
No, Missouri does not require handgun registration.
It depends on what the charge is. If it's a felony charge, you're not going to be able to. If it's a misdemeanor charge (for example, in NC, carrying a concealed handgun without a permit is a misdemeanor offence the first time), then you'll still be able to purchase firearms.
In order to purchase a handgun in a state other than the state where you reside, you must have the handgun shipped to a dealer in your state and pick it up there. The dealer in your state will charge some sort of transfer fee, which can range anywhere from $25 up to $100.
JUSTICE BROWN
To legally purchase a handgun out of state, you must have an FFL dealer ship the handgun to an FFL dealer in your state.
Strictly speaking, no. You can only buy handgun within your state of residence. However, you can pay for a handgun in another state, have the gun shipped to a dealer in your state, then go to that dealer to pick it up.
No.
It depends on your needs. In general, you should buy a handgun that fits your hand properly. Beyond that, buy a gun that meets whatever other requirements you have.
In the US, to buy from a dealer, Federal law requires you must be 18 to buy a long gun (rifle or shotgun) and 21 to buy a handgun. In some states, you may buy a handgun at 18 from a private seller, but not a dealer.
Technically, no. According to federal law, you can only buy a handgun in the state where you reside. You can, however, pay for a gun in any state and then have the dealer ship it to a gun dealer in your state and pick it up there. The dealer in your state will charge a transfer fee.
Absolutely NOT! That is what is known as a "sham" purchase and can get the purchaser prosecuted not only by the feds but by the state as well.
