age to carry firearm

[cpa ric]

you have to be 21 to purchase or register a handgun. period. however, if you'e on private property or the gun is to be used for hunting, you may be in CONTROL of a handgun at age 18. it's simple, really, the two sites state the same thing, but for one, you were lookin at the wrong thing on the second site, so it wasnt an apples to apples comparison. http://www.georgiapacking.org/GaCode...&section=101.1 and the articles it references are along the same lines as the first site.

Handguns are not registered in Georgia. There is no such thing as a registry that you must submit information to concerning a handgun purchase. You must be 21 to purchase a handgun, plain and simple. The media is constantly talking about "unregistered" guns as if they should be registered. Then, people run around talking about registering a handgun. One place where guns were required to be registered was DC. That was in the 70's. Congress and the courts are working to reverse that BS.

Correction. All new guns are registared. The ones bought used are not.

you talking all this "you know about guns and all".. But for your information
It is against state law for any city, county or state office or official to “register” your firearm.

OK, well, I'll concede here. Maybe 'register' is a misnomer, however all puchases are documented, and you must be 21 to purchase.
