The handgun isn't registered on your father. Colorado has no registration. The Federal adolescents Handgun risk-free practices Act limits possession and possession of handguns to an incredibly few cases. i think that is legal so you might very own it on your guy or woman assets in accordance to federal regulation. i think you are able to desire to posses written permission from a make certain or mum or dad to very own a handgun. you are able to discover the Act and study it and probable seek for suggestion from with a legal expert. IANAL. Colorado might have added regulations that could forestall you from possessing it on your guy or woman assets. some states have regulations combating minors from having access to firearms. you are able to not very own a handgun till you inherit it in case you're decrease than 18.

Nevada does not have a waiting period to purchase handguns. There is the mandatory NIC's criminal record check done before the sale.
Federal law requires that you be 18 years of age to purchase rifles or shotguns, 21 years of age to purchase handguns.
NOTE* There are NO Federal Restrictions on sales of firearms to non-residents.... However ,you cannot take a handgun that is non-compliant or not on the list of approved handguns LEGALLY into the State of California

Waiting periods vary from state to state Nevada state does not have a waiting period but some counties and cities do. Federal law prohibits handgun sales to persons who are not a resident of that state.
