I posted once before, regarding the minimum Handgun age in Alabama. I received a single response stating it was 21. I have since seen numerous sites which suggest 21 is the federal minimum age to buy from a dealer. I looked under the NRA-ILA and they listed the minimum age to purchase as being 18. Federal law prohibits FFLs from selling to anyone under 21, but state law mandates what gun shows can sell (at least for now.) Can a 19 y/o, such as myself purchase a handgun at a gunshow or from an individual if I were to move to Alabama. My other question is in regards to a Concealed Carry Permit. Could I obtain one at 19 or would I have to be 21. I am/was planning to move to Pensacola, FL which is only 11 miles from Alabama. I figured that if Alabama would allow me to own a handgun I would move there instead. After I received that response I decided to make it Pensacola. Fortunately I haven't purchased a place yet so it is still open. Please respond soon as I will have to find a place soon.
Thanks,
