It varies from state to state and whether it's a long gun (rifle or shotgun) or handgun. Most states are 18 for long guns and 21 for handguns, but some are 18 (CO, NV, AZ, & IN) or 19 (NM) for handgun. There may be more states with lower age requirements. These are ones I know.

there are also strict regulations on how the pistol must be stored going to and from either area.

The stupid libtards made it 18 to buy rifle or shotgun and 21 for a handgun. Your state law might be different so check NRA.org. for all state laws. Click on gun laws.
