If you feel safer having a gun around make sure you get some good range time, learning how to aim and steady your hand. First you should find a model you feel comfortable with. The same place that you buy your gun will usually have or know of a place where there is a range you can shoot at. Or some classes, just to learn to shoot better. When you go to practice, carry the gun in your trunk and make sure it is unloaded in case you get pulled over.\nAny gun range/ hunting store should know where to get a CCL (Concealed Carry License) if you want to carry it with you all the time. But you don't need a CCL to keep a gun in your home. (But just to make sure check the laws in your state.) Again anyone who sells guns will know the laws pertaining to them in your state. Just make sure that you take the time and learn how to shoot so if, let's hope never, the time comes to use it you will be confident in your aim even if you are shaking. Learning women's self defense is never a bad idea anyway. Any woman can learn  it. I own a gun but I still know how to take down a grown man by myself.\nI am 25 and I have a .38 automatic and I like it. (Though some people prefer revolvers because if it jams then you just move on to the next round. If an automatic jams you have to release the round.) I like the auntomatic because you can just keep pulling the trigger. It's big enough to get someone's attention but small enough to fit into a purse and doesn't have that bad of a kick once you get used to it. Plus it can make a pretty big hole. If you get hollow points they cause the most damage. For self defense I mean. That is what I have my gun for and I don't hunt or like violence either but sometimes my husband has to be gone and he would not let me stay alone without one. \nWhatever you do don't be embaressed about asking questions and telling the gun dealer exactly what you are wanting the gun for. Keep the safety on unless you are using it and lock it up if you have children. Always treat a gun like it is loaded even if you  know it isn't. Good luck and safe shooting if you decide to get a handgun. I know what it is to live out in the middle of nowhere with only yourself to rely on for defense.

WHERE DO I SIGN UP AND CAN I BRING MY GUNS

YES! To qualify for a concealed carry permit, by federal law, you must be at least 21 years of age.

I believe that you can still get your permit when you are 15 and your license when you are 16 but it's all with a parents consent.  I know in the state of IL you are under certain laws until you are 18 regarding your license, ie... you have curfew for your driving privileges, you can't have over so many passengers in the car, you can't have over a certain number of tickets, etc... I would check on-line with your states driving laws, your school drivers ed teachers or even the DMV on what the rules are in your state regarding permits and licenses are.  Good luck.  Your mom may be threatening you to be good or something may have changed with legislation recently regarding birthdates so check it out.

Try looking at the local gun shops or outdoor sports stores.  You can also buy it easily enough online.  You would have to check with city ordinances to see if they have restriction on who can buy/ carry within city limits.

If you have no idea how it functions, I recommend you do not do this yourself.\n\nYou can take the 22 to a ammo store, or large sports store, and they will assist you in either cleaning it for you or showing you how to safely operate this handgun.\n\nBe aware, you may not transport this handgun without the proper registration.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nWe've included the NRA-ILA link for gun laws in California. Gun laws can vary by state. What Kalifornia requires can be (and is) different that what is required in the Socialist Republic of New Jersey. Federal law requires purchasers: of long guns be 18, of handguns be 21, of ammunition that can be fired in a handgun be 21. Federal law also requires any purchase from an FFL be accompanied by a NICs check (this includes any criminal conviction and a domestic violence conviction will be highlighted). \n\nAccording to the NRA, California law requires the following:\n\n"PURCHASE\nTransfer or sale of all firearms must be processed with a California gun dealer’s license. An application for transfer must be made with the gun dealer before any firearm may be sold or transferred. This application contains a description of the buyer or transferee and of the firearm. A copy is sent by the dealer to the California Department of Justice and the local police chief or sheriff. The dealer may be charged a fee up to $14 by the Department of Justice. If the Department of Justice determines that the buyer or transferee is not eligible to possess a firearm, they shall notify the dealer immediately. There is a 10-day waiting period before delivery of any firearm. Dealers must keep a register of all firearm transfers. A person under restraining order may not acquire any firearm.\n\nStarting October 1, 1993, no firearm capable of being concealed upon the person shall be delivered or sold unless the person receiving the firearm presents to the gun dealer a basic firearms safety certificate approved by the California Department of Justice.\n\nNo person shall make an application to purchase more than one pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person within a 30-day period and no delivery shall be made to any person who has made an application to purchase more than one pistol, revolver, or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person within any 30-day period.\n\nA gun dealer must post a sign advising “Iif you leave a loaded firearm where a child obtains and improperly uses it, you may be fined or sent to prison.”\n\nThe waiting period and dealer application do not apply to transfers to police officers, other gun dealers, manufacturers, or importers, antique firearms, and rifles and shotguns which are classified as curios or relics by the federal government, infrequent gifts or transfers to one’s “immediate family,” an infrequent temporary loan not to exceed 30 days to a person who is not prohibited from possessing a firearm, and a transfer of a rifle or shotgun at auctions by nonprofit or public benefit corporations.\n\nIt is unlawful for any person to transfer any firearm to a person who is forbidden to possess or own a firearm. A dealer may not transfer a pistol to a person under 21 or other firearm to a person under 18.\n\nIt is unlawful to purchase, receive, or attempt to purchase or receive a firearm if such person is subject to a protective order, temporary restraining order or injunction.\n\nWithin 60 days of bringing a pistol, revolver or other firearm capable of being concealed upon the person into this state, the person importing the firearm must complete and return a Department of Justice registration form or sell or transfer the firearm to a licensed dealer, sheriff or police department."

You can buy a rifle 18+ and handgun 21+. You don't need a licence to OWN a gun, just to conceal carry. Your gun dealer will be able to walk you through registration and any other legal issues.

You do not need a permit to purchase the gun, only fill out a 4473 and pass the NCIC background check. To carry the gun on your person you will need a carry permit.  For transporting the gun, if you don't have a permit, it needs to be locked up  in your car and unloaded.

Assuming that you bought the firearm legally you can always  contact your local law enforcement agency. Make sure you don't have any outstanding warrants and that you are of the correct age.

you could actually be 14, but you need a permit from school.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nSimply ... you CAN'T!\n\nIn New Jersey, air rifles, pellet guns, BB guns, etc. are considered FIREARMS and require the purchaser to have a NJ Firearms Identification Card ... our state's version of a rifle and shotgun permit. And if you are trying to get a pistol version of an air rifle, pellet gun, or BB gun, you need a New Jersey Permit to Purchase a Pistol!\n\nNo one will legally sell an air type gun to residents of NJ without the proper permits, and will not ship them here!\n\nSorry ... it's the law we must live with!

There is one for rifles, one for handguns and one for concealed weapons (usually handguns). You have to be 18 for rifles, 21 for the other 2, no felonies, clean record. They do a background check for all 3. Probably no automatic weapons (I think those are illegal in all states), but your local court house can help you.

generally you have to be 21. Some states require you to take a course to carry a concealed weapon. Then the max most states can charge for the permit fee is $100. Check out the website, it has all the info, by state about different  laws regarding carrying a concealed weapon.
