If you are asking "Can your uncle give you a handgun as a gift," it depends. It IS legal, contrary to popular belief, to give a handgun as a gift. The requirements are, both parties must be able to legally possess the gun, and it must be a legitimate gift. In other words, if a person goes and tries to buy a gun and is denied, you can't go buy a gun for that person. That is called a straw purchase. But, any person can buy a gun as a gift for any other person as long as both people meet the requirement.
Both parties must reside in the same state. If the gift is going across a state line, you must process what is called a transfer. The buyer must send the gun to a gun shop in the state the receiver lives in and the receiver must go pick it up at that gun shop.
Also, some states (but only a few) require registration, so check your local state law.

Can a parent co sign a handgun purchase for 20 year old?
Each state has it's own laws concerning handgun purchases (each country too). The best way to find out what your specific state requires is to look it up in the books, or on the internet, or the old fashioned way, ask a local cop. I think most states at 18 years old you can buy a handgun by yourself. Actually, asking a local cop is not a good way to find out about handgun laws. Checking with a reputable local gun store is usually the easiest way, but that's beside the point. Regardless, there is no such thing as a cosigner for a handgun. Most states (but not all) allow people under 21 to own or possess a handgun, and handguns can be given as a gift as long as the receiver qualifies to own the gun under their state laws. If your state law allows ownership of a handgun under the age of 21, you can purchase a handgun from an individual, or have a parent purchase the handgun from a licensed dealer for you as a gift (to be legal under federal law, it has to be a legitimate gift).

What age are you allowed to have a handgun regeisterd in your name?
It depends: most U.S. states don't require registration and there is no national registration. By Federal law, you must be 21 in or order to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer, but some states allow people 18 or older to own handguns, which means you can buy a handgun from an individual or another person can give you a gun as a gift.
