not in my world, it may be legal, but why mess with the interpretation of the law. If a 18 year old wants one, get it like I did at 18, enlist in the Military they give you all kinds of kool stuff
I believe it is federal law that prohibits the sale of a "hand gun" to anyone under the age of 21,except by private sale.
