Since I posted on a person under 21 trying to purchase a handgun from me I had multiple conversations with lawyers and law enforcement at several different levels. The consensus is, in Arkansas a person must be 21 to purchase a handgun or handgun ammo from a licensed dealer. However, there is no provision in the law prohibiting the private sale or gifting of a handgun or ammo to persons under 21. That being said, if the person is 18 years of age or older the private sale can legally take place providing the person is 18 YOA or older. However much of a technicality it is or what could be construed as a "loophole" in the law there is an absence of instruction in this matter. I guess it's like most things, it simply boils down to a judgenent call. Honestly, if an 18YO can purchase an AR,MSR or tactical shotgun a handgun isn't going to make that big of a difference. I guess we all have decisions to make. Tell me what you think. Thanks!

Communication

I noticed the messages tab was gone on my profile page. I'm assuming we are communicating via text & email. Thats no problem as long as folks know how we're communicating. Just wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything. After all, communication is key.

Under Aged Person Attempting to Purchase Handgun

Anonymous 1407 — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 15:57:05 +0000

I have a G27 for sale and an under age person scheduled to meet to buy. To their credit they admitted their age via text prior to meet. This person's phone number is (479) 208-0136 or (479) 275-8570 they said they were from Fort Smith, Arkansas.I don't know if they are male or female. I do know they are convinced they can purchase a handgun and ammo at 18 years of age through a private sale they even cited Arkansas law. I informed them that the state of Arkansas is very clear on this law. NO ONE under 21 years of age can purchase or possess a handgun or handgun ammunition unless said ammunition is used in a long gun in their possession at the time. It doesn't matter if we agree with it or not, that's the law. According to this young person they have attempted to purchase on here prior to this attempt and got denied by the seller. I held the gun as "pending" for two days and just hours before the meet they told me their age and admitted they had been turned down before and didn't want to make the drive if age was an issue. Just a friendly piece of advice, make sure you indicate 21 and over on your handgun ads. I know it's on them to follow the law but that won't satisfy the law when they track it back to you.
