You'll be fine, Detroit is a very safe city.

I mean that is a pretty common practice across the nation
Most states have severe limitations/restrictions allowing under 21s to purchase a handgun
It's not surprising

Fellow Detroiter here (well, close enough anyway). As I understood it we did away with purchase permits in Michigan back in 2014.

I'm 19 and just had my mom help me buy a P38 a few weeks ago. She did the transaction and filled out the 4473, and then "gifted" it to me. I know that sort of sits dangerously close to a straw purchase, but every authority I've asked on the matter (sheriff, lawyer friend, etc.) said it was fine, as did the seller.

Yes I understand that. But I can legaly purchase a handgun at 18 from a private seller. But I need a purchasers permit. (pp) and the place I have to go to get that closes at 3:45. Monday- Friday. The person in getting the gun from has 0 free time in there hrs. I have no clue what to do.

I had my older brother do it for me. He just barely any free time to go in there. Also straw purchase isn't illegal for handguns like that. You can legally own it. Thats why its not illegal.

>staw purchase isn't illegal
What you meant to say was "that's not a straw purchase".
A straw purchase is when you knowingly buy any kind of gun for someone not allowed to own said gun under law. Buying a gun for anyone who is legally allowed to own said gun is, by definition, not a straw purchase. It doesn't matter whether the law would allow them to purchase it themselves.
