Good catch Mr. Redbaron007![BOLDED] I believe you are mistaken. You still have to be 21 to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer, even in MO. If I'm incorrect, please guide me in the direction where it was changed.
Thx!
Indeed is it a violaion for an FFL to sell a handgun to someone under 21 years of age.
[h=6]Q: Does a customer have to be a certain age to buy firearms or ammunition from a licensee?[/h] Yes. Under the GCA, long guns and long gun ammunition may be sold only to persons 18 years of age or older. Sales of handguns and ammunition for handguns are limited to persons 21 years of age and older. Although some State and local ordinances have lower age requirements, dealers are bound by the minimum age requirements established by the GCA. If State law or local ordinances establish a higher minimum age, the dealer must observe the higher age requirement.
