Ok so if I’m 18 and a friend of mine is 21, can he purchase the pistol from the store, and then sell it to me? I think the law is 21, but I heard something about that only applying to registered dealers or something. I have never been arrested, and my buddy who would purchase the pistol actually works at the sport and goods department in this grocery store and handles the sales of guns. thanks

ok so it says this:

Handguns

* Permit to purchase handgun? No
* Registration of handguns? No
* Licensing of owners of handguns? No
* Permit to carry handguns? No*

* It is unlawful to sell or transfer a firearm capable of being concealed on one’s person to anyone who has been convicted of a felony or adjudicated a delinquent minor for conduct that would constitute a felony if committed by an adult. It is an affirmative defense that 10 years or more has elapsed since the unconditional discharge on the prior offense.

* It is unlawful to knowingly sell or transfer a firearm to a person whose physical or mental condition is substantially impaired as a result of an intoxicating liquor or drug, or to sell a firearm to a person less than 18.
"Jsatt" – this is from the official gun laws in Alaska – " Registration of handguns? No "

so apparently in my state, registration of a hand gun is not required

I’m mainly purchasing it for protection because I got robbed at gun point a couple months ago.

"david" This is a gift from a friend that is 21. there’s no law keeping him from giving me the gun as a gift. "straw purchase" there’s no way to prove that. hey it’s Christmas and is the time for gift exchanges.

What was the real reason for making it so a 18 year old can buy a shotgun or rifle but you have to be 21 to buy a handgun? I can cut down a shotgun and conceal it just as well as a handgun. If I were a crazy mass murderer I could do far more damage with a scoped bolt action rifle than with a pistol. We should be allowed to buy a pistol at age 18. So why did they make it law we must be 21?
