Virginia is an open carry state. That means you can carry a plainly visible hog-leg on your hip in most places, but I sure wouldn't.\n\nYou may not carry concealed until you are 21 and have a permit. \n\nDon't do anything rash.

you can leave anywhere in the us legally...at the age of 18

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.

Juveniles under the age of 21 are forbidden from carrying a handgun.  Florida also will not recognize licenses from other states for individuals under the age of 21.\n\nEDIT: I realized that the CCW reciprocal recognition program applies only to actual CCW permits.  You're asking more broadly about carrying a weapon in a car, but I don't think the rules change - though, interestingly, there was a significant Supreme Court dispute years ago about whether the federal word "carry" included possession of a weapon in a car or only on a person.  Regardless, I wouldn't recommend it, unless you can find an extremely specific legal verdict that directly allows juveniles to transport weapons.

you can actualy start training to be a cop befor your 18 but you can't become a cop until your 21. the law says you can't have a gun until your 21.

I'm pretty sure that it's a federal thing, not state law.  You need to be 18.  21 if you want a handgun.  Background checks apply.  Be safe with it.

depends on the state you live in (or the country for that matter)\n\nVirginia : http://www.gunowners.org/fs9713.htm\n\nTexas : http://www.io.com/~velte/FAQ.htm\n\nNRA: http://www.nraila.org/GunLaws/FederalGunLaws.aspx?ID=59\n\n\nEven if a state or local jurisdiction has laws prohibiting storage, you are protected by this federal law:\n\nNotwithstanding any state or local law, a person shall be entitled to transport a firearm from any place where he may lawfully possess it to any other place where he may lawfully possess such firearm if the firearm is unloaded and in the trunk. In vehicles without a trunk, the unloaded firearm shall be in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console. Necessary stops, like gasoline and rest, seem permissible.

Most likely, it is probably too late.\n\nThe laws depend on the state.  When I began hunting in Wisconsin about 17 years ago, I believe you could carry a gun when you were 12 or 13, only if you were with an adult AND you took a hunters safety class.  If you took hunter’s safety, you could hunt on your own after age 14+ (as opposed to 16 without the class).  Besides that, most states I have ever purchased a license in require a Hunter’s Safety certificate if you were born after a certain year.  The year varies, but it is usually between 1970 and 1980.\n\nSo if I had to take a guess about you sitting with your son and your son having a weapon, it is probably illegal.  I would recommend giving your states Department of Natural Resources (or Fish & Game, whatever it is called in your state) and find out if there are any Hunters education classes left and to ask your original question about sitting with your son while he is hunting.\n\nNot that I advocate breaking the law, but…\n\nThere is no law in any state that I am aware of that makes it illegal for your son to be with you while you are hunting, provided both people abide by clothing and other requirements.  If you happen to hand the rifle to your son when a deer walks by and your son shoots it…chances are no one will know the difference.  Even if you just take your son out while you hunt, it would be a good experience for him.  When I first started hunting, it was tough to point a weapon at a living thing and pull the trigger, knowing I was going to take a life.  That feeling goes away with time, but your son might change his tune after he sees an animal killed up close by you.\n\nBesides, a day in the woods is a great way to get some exercise, see the raw beauty of nature, and spend time with your son.  If you hunt and your son can’t, give your son a camera for practice.  Give you son a camera with a regular lens and have him get a good picture of a deer, a squirrel, and a rabbit.  It will give your son a goal and teach him vital hunting techniques (finding game, anticipating game movements, setting up ambushes, stalking, etc…).  Just a thought.

Yep... you need to be 21... you have to carry a gun. To get a permit you have to be 21, so why would this be any different? As an officer you need to patrol bars and such, and those are 21 and over venues. If you start police academy now, you will be close to 21 by the time you get out. you can apply to the academy at select colleges, and take further classes to get a criminal justice degree- that will probably help with pay grades later on.

There are already with permits to carry in most States. You also have a waiting period before you can finalize the purchase of a new handgun. You must also register the weapon too.

You have to have been 18 at the time of the commission of the crime. The SCOTUS decided this in case law just last year in Roper v Simmons. This explains why Malvo, the younger of the two "DC snipers" cannot receive the death penalty while the older can.

Actually, it really depends in which state you are from.  Currently in Virginia, kids under 12 do not need a license.  Ages 12 to 15 need a "junior" hunting license and those 16 and over need a regular hunting license.  Children under 12 may hunt only if directly supervised by an adult.  Those 12 to 15 need to complete an approved hunter's education program before being allowed to buy a license or hunt.  I hope this answered your question.

ONE QUESTION CAN I BRING MY OWN GUN IF SO I AM IN

Wow.\n\nYes.  You can keep a baseball bat (or any kind of club-like device)near your seat in your car.  However, if that baseball bat is there for self-defense, there's a good chance you're going to get arrested for section 12020(a) of the Penal Code.\n\nSame thing with some types of knives.\n\nYou can legally carry a gun as long as you have had a concealed carry permit issued to you.  But please don't.\n\nI'd recommend you read through the section I quoted above, but even then you're not going to be an expert on what kind of things might be considered an illegal weapon by law enforcement.

I live in the Dominican Republic and you could really get in trouble if they detect you are carrying a handgun.\n\nYou being foreing, believe me, it might not be easy to get you out of jail.\n\nNo matter what other people say, dont travel here with a Handgun.

I have lived most of my life in Virginia.  If you sold the gun to someone of legal age... then how did you know that there would be a problem.  Also, if this person is a felon, then he should have not attempted to purchase the gun in the first place. Guns are listed everyday in Classified ads and sold all the time at Flea Markets.  If it were against the law, the where are the police when this is happening???  Sounds like you were done wrong in my personal opinion.  Look at it like this, if you are selling a car, do you ask the see if the person is legal t drive it away?

18 unless you have permission
