I was always under the impression that the Federal law prohibits the sale of the handgun to someone under 21, but didn't have an language the prohibits the possession.

Yea...that's what I am discovering right now, as I peruse state law websites and the NRA website.

At one time in WI possession of a hand gun by under 21 was a no no. In fact they even had an exemption for an under 21 year old that was a law enforcement officer.

FN-FAL,

Ususally I avoid getting into the spelling police thingy, but I've seen you do this one too many times. Seems like if it's your favorite word, you ought to learn how to spell it correctly. If you're doing it intentionally for effect, disregard....


It's Ludicrous, not ludicrust

It's for your own good, really.........

The laws have probably changed a bunch since then, but I remember when I was about 15 yrs old, my brother and I both had 12ga shotguns and a re-loader, and while we couldn't buy 22LR ammo, we used to pop into the local gun shop and buy Unique powder by the pound, and primers by the hundred.

Wonder how many Lbs of Unique it would have taken to blow up a building?

Federal law imposes the following restrictions aimed at younger persons:

A person must be 21 years of age to purchase a handgun or handgun ammunition, and 18 years of age to buy a rifle or shotgun or ammunition, from a retail firearm dealer. (GCA, 1968)

and that's right from the NRA-ILA Fact sheet @ http://www.nraila.org/Issues/FactSheets/Read.aspx?ID=43

So federal law would require you have some person over 21 buy you the ammo for the handgun you were allowed to possess.

So federal law would require you have some person over 21 buy you the ammo for the handgun you were allowed to possess.

Whoever said that the federal government makes sense?

You can drive a car, solo a powerplane, and get PPL-Glider at 16.
Get PPL-Airplane and instrument at 17.
Get commerical, CFI, smoke, vote, and join the military (which means that you not only get to use a handgun, but an assualt rifle too) at 18.

But you can't drink, buy a handgun, or ammo until 21.
