“To buy a long-gun like a rifle or shotgun you must be 18 years old. To buy a pistol, AOW (any other weapon), or NFA regulated firearm or firearm accessory you must be 21 years old. “
Where is it allowd to buy a gun in the US if you are 16?
In 1954, when I was 13, I bought a Savage .22/.410 over/under rifle/shotgun (and some ammo) FRom a Western Auto store in Lakeland, Florida; paid for gun & ammo (NO paperwork!) and walked home with it tucked under my arm. I mowed lawns and saved my allowance for a long time to buy that rifle! (I still own it!)
The world has turned upside down!
