It depends on where you live primarily, and what type of gun you’d like to buy. Where I live, you have to be 21 to own a handgun, with a permit, of course. You can go to your local department store, such as Wal-Mart, that sells guns and ask about the laws, or check out your county’s website for gun laws.

Over here it is 18 to own a long barreled fire arm and 21 for any type of pistol/ concealable fire arm.

Even if you are of age to own it, if it’s not legally yours, it’s a bad idea. If someone gave it to you as a gift, make up a Bill of Sale and get it registered. It will save you some headaches later, trust me. Turn all the lights on and call the police.
