Hi, I am a new member and I would basically just like to ask a few questions. I am a resident of Missouri, a state which I have come to know as an Open Carry friendly state. However, I am currently 17 years old. Some of my questions include the process of obtaining a handgun, which I know is not relevant to the Open Carry topic, but I do have other questions relating to that as well.
First off, I will be turning 18 in November of this year.
1. If either of my parents or other members of my family obtain a handgun will I, having turned 18, be able to purchase said handgun from them legally and possess it legally?
2. If the answer to the first question is yes, am I legally allowed the right to open carry at the age of 18? The reason I express interest in open carrying is I believe that unlike concealed carry, open carrying can stop a crime from ever even being attempted.
If anyone could help answer my questions it would be much appreciated.
