Depends on the laws where you are, and what you were doing with the gun. In much of the US, you must be 18 to possess a rifle/shotgun, but 21 to possess a handgun. Laws vary from state to state, country to country. I am well past the age of 18, and have a permit to carry a concealed weapon, but cannot carry a firearm into a post office, school, or airport. There is a law agaisnt that.

Get a lawyerAdded: Not enough information is given on which to base an answer or opinion. HOW did they associate your BF with the gun? When they found the gun were his fingerprints on it? Did the pursuing officers SEE your BF throw the gun down but he got away, avoided arrest, and wasn't caught until months later? What was the offense he was charged with?ALL these questions have a bearing on how, and why, he was charged. If the prosecutor is moving forward with the charge it most likely IS legitimate or they wouldn't risk having it thrown out, or dismissed, by the court.
