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..
