Difference between owning, buying, carrying, and possessing a gun. In most states to BUY a rifle or shotgun, 18. To buy a handgun, 21. However, you may OWN a gun at any age, and depending on state law, with the permission of your parents, possess a gun at any age. If you can give us a specific state, we can give you a more specific answer.

In most states with lax gun laws, you can get a shotgun license at age 18 (age of majority). However, laws regarding possession and use of different guns varies. Shotguns have less stringent laws in most states than handguns.

It depends on what you mean. I'm not aware of anything called a "firearms certificate" unless some state requires it. To own a firearm, by federal law, there is no certificate.
