There is a difference between "owning" a handgun and "purchasing" a handgun. I can own 20 handguns without having ever purchased one at a store. The statute talks about being 21 to purchase a handgun, and is referring to purchase from an FFL. The Louisiana statutes clearly state you only have to be 17 to posses a handgun.

Exactly right... and that is where this provision comes in LRS 14:95.8 C.(7) as it states, you can possess the handgun but it does not get into purchases or ownership. those come from federal laws and such. Finaly,i am glad that this is all understood.Cheers dude.
