Minimum Age
Federal law prohibits possession of a handgun by anyone under 18, but some states have established higher or lower age limits. For example, Montana has set the minimum age for handgun possession at 14. There is no federal minimum age for possession of a long gun (rifle or shotgun).
Licensed Dealers (FFLs) are prohibited from selling handguns to people under 21, and long guns to people under 18. Unlicensed sellers may not sell handguns to people under 18, but there is no federal minimum age for buyers of rifles or shotguns. Some states have set their own age limits
