Just so I make sure I have this straight (because I don't wanna get in any trouble), I can OC a handgun at 19 as long as it was purchased privately or it was a gift. Now, if I choose to do so with one of these options for getting said handgun, how do I go about proving it was a private purchase or a gift, etc to an officer or someone else if they question it and bring up the 21 issue?
Sorry I'm asking so many questions. OC is very new to me.
It makes no difference where or how you bought it....
FFL Dealers cannot sell to people under 21 by federal law.
But you canpurchase privatelyand carry oneif you are 18 or older by state law.
It all comes down to your ability to actually get one.... brand new from a gun dealer or like new from a private purchase.
But for me, I would be sure to get a sales agreement unless you know and trust the guy you got it from. Nothing worse than buying a gun that was stolen and having LEO 229 run your serial number one day to find it was reported stolen.:lol:
Having the sales agreement and a person to point a finger at could save you from having your day in court.
