“Additionally, you must be 21+ to own a handgun in my state.”

That’s Federal law too. All states are the same.

"That’s Federal law too. All states are the same." Many people are confused about t

his. You can own a handgun at any age. You just cannot carry it about legally without meeting certain federal requirements until you are 18. You cannot legally buy one from a federal dealer until you are 21.

A number of states allow you to obtain a CCW at the age of 18. Most allow you to buy a handgun from a private party at age 18. Several allow you to carry a handgun under the age of 18. The federal law requires that you have written parental permission to carry a handgun if you are under 18 years of age.

Really! That I didn’t know. I just assumed it was my liberal state without really looking into it.

True but here one can have a concealed carry at 18. Just cannot own it.
