You can't sell it to her because she isn't old enough to buy it. Giving it to her would be a gray area that I'm not qualified to talk about. If you don't trust her dad then her mom is allowed to do the deed as well. If neither are trustworthy enough then she likely needs to wait.


That actually depends on the state.

I bought a pistol at the age of 19. Private sale. The "gunshow loophole" . Didn't break any rules or laws. I can not buy a pistol from a dealer yet, but private sale is fair game here. Heck i can CCW at 18....

It's not a gunshow loophole. The additional unconstitutional restriction is the problem.

Federal law says a dealer cannot transfer a handgun to any person under 21. An unlicensed individual can sell or give a handgun as a gift to a person who is over 18. (AR lowers are now included in this, and other rifle receivers that are not complete rifles.)

If you cash your paycheck and purchase a pistol for your girlfriend, that is a gift. If she gives you the money and says, "go buy a pistol for me, I'm too young," that is a straw purchase with serious consequences.

Our advice is to always beware of grey areas. I would be very hesitant to buy a pistol as a gift for an under-21 acquaintance. I would be more comfortable with the idea of a gift for a girlfriend in a serious relationship. I would have no worry about purchasing a pistol, as a gift, for an immediate family member (brother, sister, spouse, son or daughter). No matter what the relationship though, if someone hands you money and says, "go buy it - I can't," it is a felony.

State laws vary.

State laws do vary, and I'd advise you to talk to someone with some experience in your state. Oregon law for example, restricts those under 21 to possession for "lawful purpose", regarding handguns. Case law says that does not include home defense. That could be a felony in Oregon. They're allowed to possess them while going to or from a range, hunting, or fishing, but otherwise cannot possess them. 18yo can purchase/own/carry a rifle or shotgun however.

You never know....

Don't burn that bridge simply because you might want something later. Keep the option on the table until you actually do split up.

Wish I had that sense when I was young and handsome. Sent some great gals packing back then simply because I thought we were getting too close. Now I'm almost 50 and still unmarried. Trust me, the gals at my age aren't near as good looking anymore. I wouldn't settle down then and now I might just have to settle for what I can get.

Not saying you should go shopping for rings, but just don't slam the door shut early simply because you think you are too young.



Ummmm I work with a lady in her early 50's that's single and smoking hot thumb.gif thumb.gif thumb.gif
