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!
I honestly don't like it. I think if they need it to be gifted to them I would rather have them bring someone over 21 to buy it and then gift it to them. I'm not going to sell directly to under 21.
