I have tried checking with several sources; some say that the required age for a Federal Firearms License is 18, others say 21. I have also read that different ages are required for purchasing certain types of firearms (shotguns, handguns, rifles and respective ammunition). Does anyone with experience in this field know what the correct required age (for each, if necessary) is?
I’ve always been a legal citizen and have no criminal record, so no factor other than age (I’m 17) prevents me legally from being able to hold a license.
I am particularly interested in rifles, such as assault rifles and battle rifles in .308 Win, 7.62mm, etc. Are there any other requirements for these types of firearms?
