Can I still get a handgun at 21 even if I was convicted as a juvenile felon?

Nope.\n\nA felony negates your right to own. Doesn't matter if it was juvenile or not - felonies never get erased.

I don't think convicted felons can EVER legally get a handgun. That is one of the prices they have to pay (a right they loose by doing the crime.) Sucks to be a criminal. It does stay with you for life.  We need to teach our children why crime doesn't pay.

No. If they are lucky enough to not get caught until they are 19, then the person is no longer a youth.

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.

No. Felonies can be expunged if you were a minor at the time (but not automatically) or if you are pardoned, regardless of your age. People who are 70 and have been free from arrest or prosecution for 10 years are eligible to have their records expunged as well, as are people who have been dead for 3 years, unless they committed certain crimes.

I would guess you need to be 18, unless you have some crazy laws, but this in Illinois, they have alot of crazy (and unconstitutional) gun laws, more so in the Chicago area.  just ask the people at the store, they should know. if your under 18, take your parents with, they can get it for you if they are ok with it.  Also don't do anything dumb like shoot people with it or point it at a cop, I don't want you to end up in jail or dead.

Some colleges ask on your application if you have a felony, ignore that. You were not 21. I work with organizations that are trying to stop the discrimination that is preventing people with CORI to move forward with their lives. As far as a career, your robbery will depend on the circumstances, you will need to work on your community service and do well in school to show an employer that you are worth hiring. I am going to give you a website to contact to assist you and others facing the same challenges. Go to school and pursue your dreams. Your past is just that your past it is not the person you are today. Good Luck

Its likely you'll never get back the privilege of owning a gun.  In most cases, once a felon, always a felon.

Yes. The person for whom it is issued can't own a firearm for a certain period among other restrictions.

Sounds like you know pretty well about your predicament.  It appears, however, if you were under 21 at the time of the offense, you could apply for exp unction for 'minor possession offense.'  although I am not sure what the minor possession offense would apply to your offense.  See G.S. § 90-96\n\nWhat do you mean by the slim chance?  Appears you had a minor possession offense.  Could be you were over 21 then?  If I were you I would seek a legal advise from veteran defense attorneys. (he or she should be able to tell your chance)

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.

If you are the owner of said firearm you need to check the persons identification to make sure they are of proper age to purchase said firearm.  If its a handgun and you think this person might not be legit then I would call the local police station and ask if they would run any wants and warrants on their ID if that comes back clean sell the gun.  If yo don't and somebody gets killed with your gun you could be charged as an accessory prior to the fact. Rifles,& shotguns Okay if above 18.  Handguns find their way from the south to places like DC and NYC all the time and you do not want a childs blood on your hands.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nSimply .... you can't!\n\nUnder federal law, you must be 18 years old to purchase a long arm (rifle or shotgun), and 21 to purchase a handgun. Under some elements of the federal law, a minor can not even legally handle their parent's legally acquired firearms in their presence or with their consent. State laws typically mirror federal law. Basically, it is best to wait a few years, and no jeopardize your right/privilege to own a firearm when you are of legal age!

You can enter a gun store at any age.  My Dad collects old riffles and I remember going to a gun store with him as a child.  The legal age to buy a gun is 21.  You can legally fire someone else's gun, though.  My Dad took me to a shooting range a few times.  I didn't mind the shooting, but the loading of the bullets hurt my hands.  I pretty much hated going there. :)

Unless you are under 18 you are SOL.  It won't show up on DMV reports after 3 years, but it's going to stay on there forever.  You, my friend are a convicted criminal.\nMe too, BTW.

If it is a juvenile conviction, there are quite a few options. They are laid out in the first site below. If it is an adult conviction, only certain felonies can be expunged and only after 3 years. The exact details are in the second site.
