Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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.
