17 yearolds aren't allowed to carry either, so he's fucked too.
on what planet?
you never held a gun or owned a gun have you?
there is no age to use a gun.
there is no age to shoot or posses a gun
if you want to buy a gun in retail, in a store that age is 18
if you want to buy a gun from a private person , there is no age.
if its given as a gift there is no age,
there is no age to hold and shoot a gun at either a rabbit, a deer, a boar,
or a human
who the fuck put this into your head?
