Sure. But something about Federal law and under 18 can not buy
handguns. So to buy one you have to be breaking the law.



Federal law says you have to be 21 to buy a handgun or ammo for a
handgun.

18 U.S.C. 922(b)(1), 27 CFR 478.99(b)

We do have a Florida law about it tho.

It is unlawful to sell, give, barter, lend or transfer a firearm or
other weapon other than an ordinary pocketknife to a minor less than
the age of 18 without his parent’s permission, or to any person of
unsound mind.

It is unlawful for any dealer to sell or transfer any firearm, pistol,
Springfield rifle or other repeating rifle to a minor.

A minor less than 18 years of age may not possess a firearm, other
than an unloaded firearm at his home, unless engaged in lawful
activities.


Reads a bit ambiguous to me.

You can't sell or give a firearm to a minor under 18 without a note from
the parents.

A dealer can't sell a firearm to a minor.

So, are those over 18 considered minors?

And what lawful activities allow a minor under 18 to possess a loaded
firearm.

Funny stuff on first reading.

legal activities would be shooting range, hunting, etc.
