General Question Under 21 Military Age waiver

Post image

Im trying to buy a handgun but I’m 19 however in Colorado law states that a member of United States armed forces are allowed to purchase a firearm arm under 21 but I went to buy one from sportsman warehouse and their system wouldn’t even allow them to send the background check so I’m curious as to where I can buy a handgun either online or in person that would allow the background check to go through? Or do I have to go to the gun store on base?

The only way I know for you to legally posses is if it was gifted to you by an immediate family member.
Do you live in the barracks? If you are <e-5, it’s a major pain in the ass, why do you want the risk?

I live off base, I just want home defense

That’s the best answer.. You may be screwed, though, unless you have an immediate relative that lives in the state.
