So not to beat a dead horse on gun laws, but why can I get a carry permit at 18 but can't purchase a handgun till 21? Backstory: so a while back I remember getting my gun permit, boy, I was excited so what next? To pick out a handgun. so after quite a while deciding what I wanted and locating it, I went with my father to purchase it. At the establishment which I dare not mention out of respect, (lets just say the name is sounded something lik duel ping) I handled the firearm and further decided its what I wanted but at the point of us purchasing it they brought up accusations of a "straw purchase" (basically buying a weapon for a criminal who couldn't otherwise get it on there own. Not the legal, licensed, adult voting citizen I am) and refused to sell it to us. Didn't realize it was illegal to gift something anyways. Your thoughts on a bit of an catch 22 law like that?
