The CIA agent who currently has a gun to my head did say it is a pretty good plan.

In most states (All?) you can't own a hand gun unless you're 21.

In order to buy a handgun through a federally licensed dealer, yes 21. However some states, including my own, allow you to buy one at 18 from a private seller. It's not as simple as "Hey Jim, wanna buy my old Walther?" of course, there's a purchase permit process.

In other news, my mom continues to be a bitch.  I'm not allowed to make a lunch for myself until she's finished baking her pies.  So yeah it's almost noon, totally starving since I didn't have breakfast either.  And if I told her that, she'd probably bitch at me for not having breakfast.

its a federal law, for here in Utah i can still be in possession with one.

There's also the, "I heard you need some heat. Come look at these cheap heaters in my trunk," method of procurement of firearms, as well.

[Fniff]

Yeah, but if you have the right friends you could buy those when you're four.

... If you can steal the money from your parents, and if you're a really weird child.

[sjm9876]

'Right' friends.

[Fniff]

Right and wrong is all a matter of perspective. Having a bunch of gunrunning drug dealers for friends when you're four may be wrong from another point of view, but for some people it's just fine.

[MrSparky]

Wait, why do they have to be drug dealers? Can't they just be gun runners? Or Pirates! Every four year old wants to be friends with pirates!

[sjm9876]

nah, the gunrunner would probably be me if i lived in america. So yay, freedom

Near as I can tell from some quick checking, th'federal law only applies to purchasing if you're under 21 (and then, only from federally licensed dealers or across state lines). You can still legally possess a handgun if you're 18 (actually younger, in certain circumstances, usually temporary) providing state law doesn't say otherwise.

Purchase permit process depending on the state. Florida, ferex, doesn't have one, even for handguns, unless the law's changed quite recently. Interesting thing down here is that so long as you're legally capable of possessing the firearm (which, in the case of handguns, is over 18 and the standard sanity checks -- no history of mental issues, no criminal record, etc.), so long as you don't specifically give someone money to go out and buy you a gun, any one and everyone can just hand the weapon over to you as a gift. No records, no permits, no nothing. And yeah, you could buy from a private (non-federally licensed) seller if you're 18 and up.

So yeah. Varies by state, after the federal stuff.

Modern pirates?

Spoiler: Your new best friend! (click to show/hide)

On one hand, being friends with methed up insane slave-taking pirates would be really risky and just plain horrible for a four year old. On the other hand, you could get them to kidnap people who don't invite you to their birthday parties! So the cons are outweighed by the pros.

Spoiler: Wait a second.... (click to show/hide)

[Fniff]

I can't tell who would be worse as best friends for children: the Somalians from South Park or the pirates from Far Cry 3. They're different in equally horrible ways.

[Furtuka]

Yeah yeah yeah first world problems but-
