19 year old buy handgun?

tlundberg · 06-23-2017, 12:34 AM

Hello, I am 19 and have been trying to read up on the gun laws in wa and or, but am unclear on some. So I know 18-21 yr olds could purchase handguns through private party, but i saw something that said wa and or recently passed laws banning private party sales? Can somebody help clear this up for me, and if its possible, how would I go about purchasing a handgun. Also, even if i do not own the handgun, I am allowed to be in possession of a handgun if its unloaded, and I am on my way to go shooting? Thanks guys, just want to get these questions cleared up.

If you will go to this link, you can see the WA law on possession by 18-21 yr olds.
RCW 9.41.240: Possession of pistol by person from eighteen to twenty-one.
