PAfag here
So, I want to buy a handgun, but am only 18. I understand that if my parents were to buy a pistol, it would be possible to transfer it to me. However, my family is very anti-gun, and unreasonable enough that I doubt I could convince them. I've heard that the age requirement of 21 years only applies to purchasing a pistol over the counter from an FFL, and that an 18 year old can buy a pistol in a private sale. Is this true? Where would I go to transfer it? Is this legal in my state? Do I have any other alternatives?

Thanks in advance

In some states you can buy a handgun at 18 through private sales. In PA it doesn't look like you can since even private sales of handguns must go through an FFL. I might be wrong. You're going to have to ask one of your local gunshops. Your only alternative is a gift from a family member.

you can't do it anon, sorry.

Fuck the law, practice your rights as an American.
>>
>>32186086
If you can buy it through a private sale in your state, yes, it is legal.
>>
>>32186273
Thanks anon, I'll check. I think I have to do it at a sheriffs office, instead of a FFL though.

rip, thanks

Felonies aren't fun, but I may 80% a 1911 or Sig, as that's a loophole.

HK45ct is a masterpiece and so is the USP. I have a 45ct in babyshit brown and love it. I've never had a USP 45 but my USP tac 9mm is maybe the best pistol ive ever owned.

yes though you can buy one in a private sale. its not illegal though i will say that some people will be fags about it if you arent 21.. and by that I mean I see people on vaguntrader and shit saying that they require you showing them your id or cwp in order to buy it and as you know the cwp cant be had unless youre 21. Most people dont care though. I'm in VA and I had a pistol at 18.
>>
>>32186450

It's legal to build those, since IIRC you just aren't allowed to go through an FFL, which is pretty much a ban on under-21 year old from getting handguns.

Remember that building either will be more expensive. And I'd suggest getting the Sig P228 parts kits soon, since there's only so many of them.

>>32187778

The Ares with the plastic grip? A few people have reported with issues with fitment, and one from Calguns had his broke when it fell on the carpet from his bed. While cool, I'd go with a straight aluminum or steel frame. The only exception would be Limited-10 but they do double stack 2011 frames, STI style.

>>32186086
got to PAFOA and ask what you can do.

Im pretty sure that pa state law prohibits you from owning a gandgin until you're 21.

In all honesty i dont know many 18 year olds who are mature enough to be allowed handguns. Though when I was 18 I would have argued differently.

If you cant get a regular gun you could always buy a steel framed black powder revolver in 45 then buy a conversion cylinder to shoot 45LC.

Capacity and powder charge will be limited but you'll have a capable defensive handgun

>>32187862
and how many and what pistols have you owned that you have for comparison?
>>
>>32186086
You are only 18. You are too young for a handgun. Just wait 3 little years. I am so tired of young kids trying to find loopholes to get something that they are too young for. Wait like the rest of us. I did not get my first handgun until 25.

I don't get this logic. I'm responsible enough to have a safe full of rifles/shotguns, but not a handgun? What's the difference? And I'm talking just owning one, not carrying. I live in a no-issue state anyways.

ive had a version of every HK handgun in either 9mm or .45 that they still make. I've had the sig p220,p226. I've owned the Glock 22, Glock 27, Glock 17, and Glock 19. I've owned a Les Baer 1911, a Wilson Combat CQB, a Springfield 1911 (Loaded or something I think it was called?). Ive also owned the CZ sp01 and CZ75 as well as two .357 s&w revolvers.. one was the 687 or something and I forgot the other. I've sold a lot of guns and currently I now own the HK45c, H45, USP9t, HK VP9, HK P30sk, and a G19.

and yes the HK USP is better than both the Wilson Combat and the Les Baer. The Les Baer fucked up the first time I ever shot it and I had to send it back and the Wilson Combat fucked up for me and failed to feed at what could have been a potentially really bad time for it to do that and i sold it the day after but thats a story for another day

OP is in a different state than you.

its literally the first thing in his post.

state laws in VA and PA regarding handgun transfers are different, so since you dont know what you're talking about, how about you just STFU

There are no private handgun sales in PA. I suggest you read the UFA provisions in title 18 of the crimes code. You're headed down a felonious path.

If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

>>32189877
Listen to this dude. Now from what i recall, you can purchase a handgun from a non-FFL seller, but it absolutely has to be transferred through the sheriffs office (at the very least, i dont recall if you can just get the transfer done at an FFL.)
>>
>>32190529
Good luck finding a sheriff that does a transfer. 17 years of working in local and county govt, I've never run into a sheriff who will do one.
>>
>>32186086
PA quaker here too. Sorry man. Can't buy or transfer until 21. But if the seller is a good friend you could work something out until you're older.

Good luck
