Ah. Whooshed myself I did. Ooops
I don’t think legally I am supposed to handle any firearms at all. If getting a range card requires a background check, then I guess I can’t. That makes me kinda angry. Fine, don’t let me own one. But I can’t just go to the range for an hour and shoot?
I doubt it. I sure hope not!
No, he has to 21 to do anything in this country other than vote or kill or be killed for his nation.
I guess that’s what I am.
I am looking into the legality of owning a crossbow now. Don’t know much about them.
Damn. That’s exactly almost what’s happened to me. I simply couldn’t believe it.
Many (most?) states allow gifting to family members. However, as he seems to reside in your home, it is a bit more troublesome to avoid. At best case it would need to be locked up and only accessible to him.
Crossbows, bows, and air guns are not firearms. Blackpowder is not outright forbidden, but a bit more murky, there are instances where it’s been challenged. In other words, not illegal, but could be a potential headache.
You need to be 21 to own a handgun.
A scope and muzzle brake on a .22 handgun? That’s why I’m suspicious that this even happened. 
or :rolleyes: I can’t decide which.
It’s a 22/45 that fires .22LR rounds. Why would putting a Sig Sauer Romeo scope on it matter? Those purchases were made seperately from the gun itself, and from different places online.
To purchase.
I know what it is. I always wanted that gun. I just think that the scope is a bit and the muzzle brake is more than a bit silly on it. But it’s your money.
There’s a few color combos on that thing. I really wanted the burnt orange with the oval vent-holes, but couldn’t find one as they were all sold and got the blue anodized one with the shiny silver bolt throughout so the chromed accessories accented that. And it WAS my money.
And that scope allows for hitting 5" dinner plates at 150 yards, which is why I bought it. And it makes a .22 look a little more legit than it is.
At 150 yards won’t a plain old .22LR go through 3/4" plywood? Seems plenty legit to me, though I know most people think it’s a popgun. And if you can hit those plates at that distance you’re a better man than I am. I apologize for my snarky dismissal. But a muzzle brake?
FTR, I never did much shooting, and I have a psych ward stay that probably would cause the ATF to visit me if I bought anything that goes bang. I’m stuck with airguns.
Depends on the state. In my state an 18 year old can own a handgun. But per federal law cannot buy one from an FFL dealer. But if an unlicensed person sells or gives an 18/19/20 year old one, it is perfectly legal for them to have it. YMMV depending on the state.
If the OP cannot possess a firearm, and the agent found them in possession of a firearm, why aren’t they being charged with a crime?
It’s a red dot sight, right? They are quite useful. Also I like your choice of the mark IV, a very stylish design and a better disassembly system than the previous models.
That’s different, most states allow you to buy both long guns and handguns private party at 18, though some states are banning that now. I didn’t even mention that because I don’t know if it’s legal in OP’s state.
Referring specifically to this. You can gift your own child a long gun under 18, and a handgun in some (broad) circumstances. Most gun control proposals don’t touch family exchanges.
My ignorance fought.
I thought a person had to be 21 to own a handgun. The law to which I linked shows that I was incorrect. A person under 21 cannot buy a gun from a dealer, but under federal law s/he can obtain one from an unlicensed person.
Would you have been allowed to remove and keep the scope or other accessories?
I was thinking more of the stories where the poster tells the cop yeah I hit her.
Yeah the real problem for a lot of people is that they voluntarily confessed to a significant crime to the cops, then were convicted of the crime they confessed to. I’m not really sure why people think confessing to a major crime like domestic violence is a good idea, or what they expect to happen after the confession other than arrest and (attempt at) conviction, but the fact that people have talked themselves into something with lifelong consequences is, like you said, a good example of what talking to the police can do for you.
