Technically you can OWN one at any age. My father gave me my first .38 when I was 13.

However to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer or to get your concealed weapons permit you have to be 21.

You can purchase long guns (any gun with a barrel length of at least 18") and ammunition when you are 18.
