Hey guys, I just found this site and I am so happy that I did, what a great wealth of info. I've read a lot of the posts on here and it looks like its ok to OC at the age of 19. But here is the story anyways.
I am from Illinois (here for college in Prescott) and last year I did the Defensive Pistol 250 class at gunsite. Wow, that was awesome. Anyways, for christmas I was gifted a nice pistol from my Grandpa. From my understanding. it is legal to get as a gift from a family member since I cant buy one (under 21). I was pretty sure I could OC, so I have been for a little while. I walked into a gun store not too long ago to buy a rifle, and the guy behind the counter noticed I wasnt 21. Long story short, he said I couldnt OC under 21 here and that I better hide my gun since I couldnt really be in possesion of it without an adult around. I replied, im over 18, legally I am an adult, but he was pretty sure that I could not have it on my hip.
I searched the laws and the only thing i have found is that under 18 you need to have an adult around and parental permission, and you cant conceal unless you are 21 an have a ccw. Other than that I couldnt find much about OCing under 21 but over 18.
I stopped OCing for a while just because I dont want any LE trouble, who does. But now that I have found this site, I am happy that it looks like I can OC. Any Thoughts? I am in the clear right?
