As I've stated before, I am 18 at the moment. My mother knows I want a handgun, and intends to get me one as a gift, which is, of course, legal under ATF rules. The problem arises from the ammo: I read somewhere that it is illegal to sell or transfer handgun ammo to anyone under 21. Does that mean that, if my mother purchased ammo for my handgun, she would not be able to give it to me to use? I can't see how that could be as it would defeat the purpose of my having the firearm at all. I couldn't go to the range with it, because I'd be in possession of the ammo, nor could I (open) carry it on my person as I would also be in possession of ammo. Surely there's some kind of exemption for if you're receiving ammo for a gun that was purchased for you as a gift by your parents - I just want to make sure.
