"Opinion Thread" Selling a gun under 21?

[TheRealShewy]

I remember when I was 18. I owned several handguns that my father purchased for me. If a relative doesn't trust you enough to buy a gun for you then I don't trust you enough to sell it to you.

That"s a "straw purchase" and highly illegal.

Someone handed me an M-16, an M-203, m-67, and an M-60 when I was 18.

Me too and sometimes an M9 lolol

I vote conditional. If you're talking that hood sass at me I'll walk. If you're bein respectful I'll toss you something but probably want a bill of Sale and some info, if you declined no worries I'd decline as well, but I was a young man who loved guns not so long ago myself. I prejudge like a mo fo don't care what no one says trust your gut and try to cover you a$$

1. According to Georgia State Law....an individual 18 years old may purchase and possess a handgun. Purchase is done via "private sale" If you are a FFL, then you MUST comply to FEDERAL Law. 18 resident or non resident for long gun/shot gun.....21 for handgun/ lowers and a resident. Here is GEORGIA Law.
   
   
   Possession of handguns by minors: Minors (persons under the age of 18) are NOT allowed by Georgia law to possess handguns unless the following exceptions apply:

   4. Hunting or fishing pursuant to a valid license if such person has in his or her possession such a valid hunting or fishing license if required; is engaged in legal hunting or fishing; has permission of the owner of the land on which the activities are being conducted; and the pistol or revolver, whenever loaded, is carried only in an open and fully exposed manner (no concealing of the firearm)

It is only a straw purchase if someone buys a gun from an FFL for a prohibited person.

It's not just FFL and it's not just people who are prohibited. It's because of the intention of the sale in the first place

If your father buys a gun from me on your behalf, it is not a straw purchase by law.
