18 years old with glock 22

[safewaysecurity]

So I was thinking of getting a glock 22. Only problem is I'm 18. I heard though a parent or sibling or other close relatives can legally transfer a handgun to an individual 18 year or older. Is this true? If not is there any other way for an 18 year old to legally possess a handgun in cali?

yes. parents or grand parents, even a friend can loan you one just as long as its really your friend and for a period of no more than 30 days.
check with DOJ also

So no permanent transfers?

[glock21fan]

also inter family transfer...your mother or father can give you one at 18 and you complete the doj form and it will be registered in your name..you just cant purchase one through a ffl...Ive had mine since 19 when i started doing security since you can get a exposed weapons permit (for security) at age 18...good luck !

I think you have to have a HSC to have over 3 or 5 days (borrowing) , cant remember for sure.

[garrett916]

ya your parent cant tranfer it to you and it will be regestered to you

Cool thanks. Also does anyone have a link to the full open carry debate up in Lafayette?

go to "operation of law" , print and send a check for 19$ to DOJ and then wait 2 weeks.

and yes you need an HSC, but thats the hard part, some gunshops will be like "oh your not 21 so we are not giving you one"

[SLYoteBoy]

Thats what I was figuring. FFL's would shy away because your not 21 , but tell them you need it for a intra-familial transfer.

[glock21fan]

turners gave me mine at 18...but if hes in security (assuming so cause of his name) if he has a firearm permit for work its a HSC exemption..

Don't forget the age requirement for your ammo as well.

Yes this is absolutely true. When I was 18, my father transferred a 92fs to me. I had to get an HSC, and I had a real hard time of convincing a gun store owner to to let me take the test. I filed the transfer form, paid my 19 bucks, and got a nice little paper in the mail with the DOJ seal on it saying that the handgun was now registered to me.

Here's how this works:

1) Mom you should go get ______ for yourself
2) Hey son, I bought this _____ and I really don't like it, would you like it?
3) http://www.ag.ca.gov/firearms/forms/pdf/oplaw.pdf
4) $19 to CA DOj
5) you are the legal 18 year old owner of _______

CA can be a fun place to live.

Why aren't inter-sibling transfers allowed? To me it just seems stupid if a sibling can transfer to his parent, and then back down to his or her brother or sister, but then again what CA gun laws are stupid....

But then how would the state get their well deserved $19 of our hard earned money?
