∙ 13y agoYes, provided the firearm itself is legally obtained.
A person must be 18 years old in the state of Washington before they can get a car in their own name. A person can always buy a car and put the car in their parents name until they are of legal age.
18
I assume you mean Washington DC. Washington is a state on the west coast. And no, Washington DC is it's own "State".
NO!!
Depends on the laws where you live.
Yes, it's perfectly legal to own one, so long as you're compliant with state laws on age of ownership/age of purchase. You can go to your local Wal Mart and buy them there, even.
The age to own a rifle is determined on where you live. You need to check with local authorities to find out what the age requirement is for your location.
Firearm laws vary state to state, but here in Colorado, you must be 18 to purchase a firearm. To own...there really is no legal age requirement. My dad gave me my frst .22 for my 10th birthday.
18 or older.
You must be 18 years of age to purchase a shotgun or rifle,and you must be 21 years of age to purchase a handgun.
WITH the permission of your parents, you can OWN a rifle at any age. To BUY a rifle, you must be 18 (in the US- other places, different laws) My sons got their first .22 rifle at age 12, after they had been shooting with me for a few years, and could show me that they behaved in a responsible way.
