What is your opinions or experiences in this scenario,
I have a son who is 19 and has his own place, I know it isn't legal for him to buy a handgun but could he get in trouble for having one at his house. He live in the sticks and not too far from a known party hangout and right off a main road so I would feel a little better if he had a handgun nearby. Could he get in trouble if a deputy pulled in and saw him shooting a handgun on his property? |

Fifth degree felony in OH if you were to do that. http://codes.ohio.gov/orc/2923.21 A) No person shall do any of the following: .... (3) Furnish any firearm to a person who is under eighteen years of age or, subject to division (B) of this section, furnish any handgun to a person who is under twenty-one years of age, except for lawful hunting, sporting, or educational purposes, including, but not limited to, instruction in firearms or handgun safety, care, handling, or marksmanship under the supervision or control of a responsible adult; (7) Purchase or attempt to purchase any handgun with the intent to sell the handgun in violation of division (A)(2) of this section to a person who is under twenty-one years of age or with the intent to furnish the handgun in violation of division (A)(3) of this section to a person who is under twenty-one years of age. .... (C) Whoever violates this section is guilty of improperly furnishing firearms to a minor, a felony of the fifth degree. |

I really didn't think it was allowable but was hopeing for a private property loophole that I didn't know about. My name can be added to the long list of people disgusted with what a 18 year old law abiding adult can and can't do.
He does have a few long guns and even though its been that way for as long as I can remember, its depressing that 19 isn't old enough for a pistol. |

I thought it was legal to own a handgun at age 18, just not legal to purchase from ffl till 21. |

I thought it was legal to own a handgun at age 18, just not legal to purchase from ffl till 21. I thought this, too. That is how I got my Ruger MkII at 18. |
So in Ohio there is no exemption say for a father giving his 18-20 yr old children a pistol as a gift? I always thought if the parents gifted adult children age 18-20 a handgun it was legal. I had a .44 mag when I was 19. Never thought a thing about it. Used to take it to a range all the time an nobody ever said boo. And don't worry, I'm sure the statute of limitations has run out on that, I'm 45 now.
