The short answer is "yes". Many states, like NH, have very few restrictions on buying or owning firearms by anyone without a criminal record who has reached the age of 21. The federal government has made some rules that can make it illegal for someone with a restraining order against them to have firearms. Some states, such as MA, require residents to purchase permits to buy or carry firearms. The federal government has books of laws infringing on our right to keep and bear arms. These laws are getting worse almost daily. New legislation, often referred to the Veterans Disarmament Act, would make it illegal for any veteran who was diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder to own a firearm, even if it does not result in violent behavior. Depending on which version is (was?) passed, it could make it illegal for anyone who was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder to own a firearm, even if they are not violent and don't have a criminal record. If someone filed a restraining order against you, you are no longer allowed to own a firearm until the restraining order is lifted. There are many other restrictions and exceptions, but for the most part, if you are a normal law abiding American, you can buy and own a firearm.

∙ 8y agoThe short answer is "that depends". It depends on the type of firearm, and the State in which you are located. Most states in the US do not require a permit to own a gun, but we need to know which state. Being a homeowner does not change matters.
