Underage gun sales

[Kasey Allen]

So, I was contacted last night about a Glock I have up listed for sale. The guy wanted to know if I would privately sell to him being 19. I reported it to the admins and they said that private sells are fine in the state of Georgia even at 18 in Georgia for a hand gun? Is that right? Idk, about private sells but I was under the impression regardless of age you had to be 21 to buy a handgun. Can anyone confirm or clarify that?

Georgia prohibits the possession or control of a handgun by any person under age 18.

The 21 thing for handguns only applies to FFLs. A private sale to an 18+ year old is perfectly legal as long as there's no other issues.

18+ is good to go for private sale. FFL must abide by the 21 rule. Many folks self-impose the 21 minimum on their private sales but no harm at all for 18+ as long as you're comfortable with the deal

I would prefer 21 on ODT. I do not feel good about any younger for a private sale

You came to the wrong place for “what’s legal” advice. What you will get is a lot of “I feel better if” counseling, it’s the ODT way.

My son is 20....he can legally purchase a handgun from a private owner but cannot go to say Cabela's and purchase from a FFL. I know it's crazy with Ga. gun laws. He's a smart young man and hasn't put this to the test. Anytime he wants to shoot a handgun, he is with me.

It's just as legal to private sell a handgun to a 18 year old as it is an 80 year old.
You shouldn't report things that are not illegal.

Yeah I don’t mean to be “that guy” but I guess I have always abided by the 18 for rifle and shotgun and 21 for handgun rule. That’s just how I grew up. Now I did grow up shooting my dad’s handguns but who didn’t right? It just bothered me and I didn’t feel comfortable. I know we all do some shady stuff here and I’m guilty to! Lol
