I know you don’t need an FFL to buy a cap and ball revolver, but do you have to be 18? My son had a job for the summer and wants to buy one

What does his father have to say on the matter?

It is legally not a gun, so probably not. But why don't you just strawman for your kid?

I don't think it's a straw purchase if there's no 4473 involved.

He wants to buy it with his own money that he earned, my boomer parents never let me do anything for myself when I was a teenager and I don’t want it to be like that for him

Much rather have him spend his money on a firearm than a fucking Gucci belt

What state

How old id the kid? If like 16+ there will probably be no issue, especially if you are there during purchase.

14

there's something respectable about buying your own shit, but if it's that important that he himself hands the register jockey his money, he can wait until he's 18 to get it.

New York sadly

oof, if you have a buddy in a free state you could order it online and have it shipped to him and so on

As far as I can find, you're fugged. Needs to be registered unless it's too old to shoot and you have no intention of ever even trying to fire it.

Many stores have an 18+ policy for BP for liability. Buy it online.

Then you need it on a permit IF you ever intend to fire it, or posses powder, cap and ball.

What about a gun show? He’s 14 but he’s 5’11 and lots of people mistake him for being 16 or 17

Nope

Will still probably ask for an ID.

Percussion guns are antique firearms under NY law and aren't legally considered firearms, similar to federal law. As always though consult a law enforcement official or attorney before taking any action.

figured as much

Dude, you can literally get it shipped to your door.
If it really means that much, just have him buy a prepaid debit card and get it himself.

Get banned underage.

Delete thread and start over before you catch a b& and good luck with your big iron.

I’m back fag

I mailordered one from Cabela's when I was 16
the 18 bit is store policy

Wtf did he posted?

An admission of guilt

NY here too. Yeah man, he's gonna have to be 18+ to buy it and then register it. Under federal laws it's not a firearm, but under NYS law it is, and it's a pistol. So he might have to be 21 even.

Sucks man, sorry.
