still ...look into what you want to purchase. find out the laws about that (i.e carrying, transportation and permits) many of us on here are weapons carriers and/or have had weapons for a long time. me i've been a legal gun owner for about 6 years now, when i turned your age. but my dad was army then a cop so i've had weapons around me my entire life. well i'm prior sevice too so, oh well. but yeah there are plenty of us that have weapons experience and looking up the laws are'nt hard.

i'll say that for one your first gun should be purchased from a gun dealer(real one) gun show(maybe) or pawn shop. that way you get used to the process of gun buying and 2 you dont buy a gun with a body on it and get locked the fuck up. someone can tell you all day a gun is legal but the only way to know is to get one from an actual dealer.
