I can only think if one way. Gift from Parents or other relative.
You can't have your parents buy it for you because that would be a straw purchase, but they can gift it to you.
Wrong. You can legally own it, so buying it for you is not a straw purchase. It's only a straw purchase if you are buying a gun for someone who can't legally own one.
To answer the OP's question: Yes, you can buy a gun, but not from a dealer. Any face to face transaction would be legal, and so would "gifts". Also, it is important to note that the only way that you can legally carry a gun when you are under 21* is unloaded in an opaque case or wrapper. While that doesn't mean that you can carry it in a flap holster, there is some room for interpretation of what an "opaque case or wrapper" is, and you don't have to have a CPL to carry that way. I would like to know what this would be considered.
Does anybody know if a briefcase, purse, fanny pack, backback, etc are considered an "opaque case"? It is very vague, and since "opaque" only means that it is not see-through, it seems like this would make backpack/briefcase/purse carry legal for anyone 18-20 without a permit (provided the gun isn't loaded).
*not including your home/fixed place of business/etc, and not including on your way to a or from a shooting range, etc... There are some exceptions.
