Oklahoma law change would let 18-year-olds buy a handgun

[sherrick13]

Either they are an adult or not.

I personally think everything should be 21. Mainly for voting reasons, heh heh.

I think people should have to wait until they turn 65. By then they’ll be mature enough to make good decisions.

Pffftttt....

....I'm 76 and can still be lacking good sense.

Good. I can only imagine the university and college push back that's coming with that proposal though lol.

I think the smart ones are In desperate need of a place to spend all the money saved by not going to college.

I had to get my dad to come with me to fill out the paperwork, when I‘d saved the money for a Ruger MK I target pistol. Skaggs Albertsons. I was 19, had quit college, moved out into an apartment, started my work career. Happy to be on my own. Went to Looboyles sporting goods store the day I turned 21, bought a S&W model 19 6” barrel, blued steel .357 Magnum . So proud of it. Around 1978, started a never ending journey of dry firing, plinking, competing, trying to improve. Funds available will affect 18 year olds ability to enter the gun culture. Don’t really remember the price of that first new .22 pistol, but seems like it was $129.-149. Had to plan, save for a while to swing that.

21st and Memorial? They used to have a decent sporting goods section.

Do you remember when Penney's had guns?

Sounds like you and I grew up in the same area.

Don’t remember Penneys’ having guns. Clothing store is all I remember. Yes, Skaggs at 21 st & Memorial.

They did. Bought a Benjamin air rifle there in the 70s.

I went with Dad and his buddy to Looboyle's way back and Dad bought a brand-new Remington 1100. I think he paid 139 bucks for it.

I know I bought a Marlin 336 at the KMart on 21st with my first "real" paycheck. (of course Dad had to buy it for me)

Probably so, as long as you're okay with your surgeons and anesthesiologists skipping out on college and med school lol.

Isn't it a federal law you must be 21 to buy a handgun which I believe it is, then the state passing a law making 18 the legal age would carry no weight. No FFL license holder is going to risk his license just cause the state said he could.
