    Glocks are good guns but Springfield Armory feels better and has more safeties for those of us that care about that kind of stuff with guns.

    You guys really need to read the law before giving advice. Seriously.

    Notice the highlighted part please.....


    "I Do Not Have a Firearms License. What Can I Do?

    Q: I don’t have a GFL. Can I carry in my car?
    A: If you are eligible for a firearms license, then you may carry a firearm anywhere inside your vehicle, concealed or openly. You may not carry a firearm in a car belonging to another person."

    As a 20 yr old, you are NOT ELIGIBLE for a license, therefore it is safer to say that you can NOT carry it in you car with more certainty. To be on the safe side, wait until you are 21. Then you're good to go.

    under 21 you can have it in the car, in plain view. This coming from D. King one of the best 2a lawyers in the state and the DA's office.

    I don't care what they say, and even if it's completely legal. I wouldn't advice anyone to. If you're not old enough to buy it, then logic says that you shouldn't be old enough to carry it around. Much like the analogy given earlier, that's like walking around with a beer in your hand when you're not 21 and then just saying, "well, I didn't buy it. My buddy who is 21 bought it for me...." What would you get then? What would HE get then? Same logic should apply here IMO.

    Again, it may be perfectly legal, but my personal opinion and advice would be NOT to carry it outside your house. It's only asking for head aches.

    thats a horrible analogy, its illegal to drink under 21. Not illegal to own a handgun under 21. I never said he could carry it around, i said in the car. It is not illegal for him to buy a handgun, he can purchase a handgun at 18, but it must be a private sale; not from a ffl dealer. Definitely not the same logic. I dont think he should carry it around illegally. But i see nothing wrong with him following the law...

    Are you sure you can purchase a handgun being under 21 from a private sale? When I was under 21, I had a handgun and looked extensively into the law and the law states, you can only have a handgun if it was a gift or you inherited the gun when you're under 21 and at least 18. It never said it was ok to purchase a handgun privately. I also don't see how that could be legal when you can get 10 years in prison when you purchase a handgun for someone under 21; that's pretty much the same concept as you are saying..
