In my state you have to be 21+ to buy a handgun. But if you are a cop who is under 21 can you then LEGALLY buy a handgun?

A policeman is an exemption in the regulation that only those who are 21 years old and above can buy a gun.

I don't know of any police departments that hire people under the age of 21 as cops.

In Texas, you can be a police officer, if you're 20 with 2 years of college. And an adult does have to buy your weapon for you. Or, the police department will have to issue you one. It's just the way the law is written.

I don't think that officer will be allowed to purchase a firearm. The department issue will have to do for now.
A good friend of mine is an Indianapolis police officer. He became a cop before he was 21, and I remember he couldn't even buy ammunition!!! Just to go practice with his issued weapon, he had to have someone else buy bullets for him.

Which e book did you replica this from? you certainly make money at Walmart? And your spouse buys pointless issues like waffles?? Is it the Walmart sort or Aunt Jemima? with the aid of fact no rely if that's Walmart, then i'm comfortable with that, yet whilst that's Aunt Jemima then you certainly certainly need to take her to courtroom for over-spending. became into the ball headed guy Mr. sparkling and he became into armed with a gun and not a sponge? Did you get the sling shot from Walmart too? I wager you probably did and if the courts locate out to procure it there, then that is held against you. to procure a detrimental weapon. David killed Golliath that way.

I know of no police agancies who will commission you to be a full fledged officer until you are 21., so the handgun issue is moot.

You cannoy be a police officer until you are 21. Most acadamies will admit you as long as you are 21 by the time you graduate.

I went through the academy with an 18 year old who was not allowed to buy his own handgun or ammunition. It ended up that his mother bought his gun for him.

No.
That is why most police departments require that you be at least 20 1/2 when you enter the academy, so that they can issue a weapon to you upon graduation.
