I can travel around the country, but can’t even own a pistol for protection/sport.
Edit: I meant that I can’t buy a pistol. I also have to be 21 to conceal carry it, which is also fucked up because I can’t travel around with it to protect myself. I guess I don’t have to conceal it but it’s definitely better to have it concealed and ready.
The state shouldn’t matter. I should be able to purchase one in Timbuktu if I want to. “Federally licensed dealer” is bogus nonsense. Also I meant to add a section on conceal carry permit.
Yes, you need to be 21 to carry concealed. Many states are like that. But you can buy a pistol from someone, and you can own it, and you can defend your property with it. Check out that full pdf in the link, and find out what it says about open carry.
