I've seen posts that specified that you had to be over 21 to buy pistols or pistol ammo. It's been a LONG time since I was anywhere near that age, and I wasn't into firearms at the time, so I didn't know anything about that.
Ruger makes a Blackhawk that shoots .30 carbine, and some of the big bore handguns use calibers that are normally rifle shells. If an 18-year old buys those shells, how do the authorities know it's NOT for a handgun?
There are long arms that shoot .44 mag, which I think is classified as handgun ammo. Ditto on .38 special and .357 magnum. Does that mean an 18-year-old who owns one of those long arms can't legally buy ammo for it?
Just how are the rules about handgun/long arms ammo determined, anyway?
This whole thing seems illogical to me - not that there is much logic applied in gun laws, anyway.
Can anyone give me some facts here?
