Here's an extract from Federal law found at http://www.fedcoplaw.com/html/federalfirearmslaws.htm

a. A person under 18 years of age is a juvenile under Federal law and may not possess a handgun or handgun only ammo, §§ 922(x)(2), (x)(3), & (x)(5), but exceptions exist, see Section C.11.

b.Possess - A person 18 years of age or older may possess a HG (pistol, revolver).

c. Purchase - A person 18 years of age or older may purchase a HG from a non-licensee (not a gun dealer) who resides in the same State as the purchaser.

d.Gift / Loan- A person 18 years of age or older may receive a HG as a gift or loan from a non-licensee who resides in the same State as the recipient.

e.Outside State of Residency - A person may not receive a HG from a non-licensee who resides in another State, except by:

1) Will or intestate succession, § 922(a)(5)(A) giver, § 922(a)(3)(A) receiver, or

2) Via temporary loan or rental for lawful sporting purposes, § 922(a)(5)(B), or

3) The non-resident may deliver the HG (see § 1715, HGs non-mailable) to a FFL in the receiver’s State for purchase from the FFL, § 922(a)(2)(A).

f.It is a felony violation to willfully violate the residency laws: § 922(a)(5) transferor’s violation, § 922(a)(3) receiver’s violation, up to 5 years in prison.

[align=left]VII. SELL, DELIVER OR TRANSFER TO JUVENILE[/align]
[align=left][/align]
[align=left]18 U.S.C. § 922(b)(1) prohibits a Federal firearms licensee from selling or[/align]
[align=left]delivering a firearm or ammunition to a person under 18, and prohibits selling[/align]
[align=left]or delivering a firearm other than a shotgun or rifle, or ammunition other than[/align]
[align=left]for a shotgun or rifle, to any person under 21. Punishable by up to 5 years.[/align]
[align=left]18 U.S.C. § 922(x) makes it unlawful, with exceptions, to sell, deliver or[/align]
[align=left]transfer a handgun, or ammunition suitable for handguns only, to a juvenile[/align]
(person less than 18 years of age). Punishable by up to 1 year imprisonment.

So it seems that the only applicable Federal Law addresses the sale to an 18 year old by a dealer, or to under 18 by anyone "with exceptions."[/align]
[align=left]And once again we are in the land of "it's legal unless otherwise restricted by state law," which isas it should be, as .gov does not grant rights, it only takes them away.[/align]
[align=left]PS: IMNAL;)[/align]
