It depends on what state you live in. Many states do not issue any kind of permit, you simply fill out the form, lay down your money and get the gun, assuming that you meet the requirements. The federal requirement is that you are 18 to purchase a long gun and 21 to purchase a pistol. I believe that some states have all gun purchases at 21.
It would appear also that a few backward states require that you fill out a lot of paperwork and if you haven't made anybody mad and you have enough influence than you might get the required permit to execute your constitutional right. Freedom loving states will assure that you are not a convicted felon, have no history of drug abuse or mental illness and then they will let you make the purchase.

Depends on what state you live in. Contact your local sheriff's office and they can inform you of the laws in your area. In Alabama you must be 19 obtain a conceal carry permit. However, federal law prohibits you from purchasing a handgun until you are 21 and a long gun at 19.

i imagine no human being less than the age of 18 should be in a position of have a gun let. probable even 21. in case you may't drink in the previous you're 21, why are you able to've a gun? that does no longer make any experience to me. i imagine whoever is meant to be doing assessments on human beings in the previous issuing enables should be investigated. there is not any way this could have got here about. although, I agree together with your sentiments about the anti-sufferer mentality, and the learning on perfect use of guns. that is extremely nicely proper, in my view.

18 to buy a long gun. No permit necessary. 21 to buy a handgun. You'll need to pass a handgun safety test. Check your state laws to be sure.

In some states it's 21, but I think in others it's 18.
