BudsGunShop.com - Buying a Handgun @ 19

  • Buying a Handgun @ 19

    in General


  • I'm 19 years old, and interested in buying a handgun. I live in Montana, and understand that I am able to buy a firearm/ammunition here in state, but I'm a bit shaky on the law when it comes to ordering a handgun. Am I legally allowed to order a handgun online, or are there restrictions preventing that? I understand that this question makes me seem like a total novice, but I truly cannot find an answer.

  • Montana imposes no specific age restrictions on the purchase or possession of firearms. But Federal law restricts to age 21. You can get a Carry Permit at 18 and legally carry a handgun. (But you cannot buy one until 21). I know as you now do, this is one of the darnedest and stupidest thing I have heard.
    Example, you can enlist in the military at 18 - they train you and put a fully automatic firearm in your hands - you perhaps fight for your Country and win the battle - afterwards you can't sit down to enjoy a beer (because you are not 21).

  • federal law prevents you from buying a Handgun from a FFL holder so no you can not order a gun from Buds as it would have to go to a FFL holder. Some states allow Private sales of Handguns to 18 year olds from the ATF site
    (b) It shall be unlawful for any licensed
    importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed
    dealer, or licensed collector to sell or deliver—

    than eighteen years of age, and, if the
    firearm or ammunition is other than a
    shotgun or rifle, or ammunition for a
    shotgun or rifle, to any individual who
    the licensee knows or has reasonable
    cause to believe is less than twenty-one
