As above have stated, nope. Which sucks. A lot of people dont want to sell to those under 21 too, in a private sale. Absolutely stupid law in my opinion. State will issue a ltch at 18 but make you go thru the so called "loopholes" to buy. Id suggest hitting the classifieds here and some gunshows. Good luck to you!

This is what I was going to suggest. I'd be sure to include your age and the fact that you have your LTCH in your WTB ad. Some people are pretty hardline about not selling a handgun to anyone under 21, which I don't understand but it's not my business.Yep. You have enough posts to participate in the classifieds, so you can post a WTB thread in the appropriate subforum.
Very gray area here. It's technically a straw purchase if you're paying for it. On the other hand, I don't see anything wrong with being specific when they ask what you want for your birthday, Christmas, or just celebrating it being Monday.your parents could "purchase" it, fill out the paperwork (from the Indiana dealer) and give it to you as a present

ffl's have to consider this a straw purchase if they are aware of the situation. This could lead to a lot of trouble if the wrong person is present or whatever.
If it's a true gift (with no suspicious quotes), then you're GTG.
Thank you for clarifying. I had been thinking of purchasing another Glock 17 for my 19yr old son and understood this was legal, but the thread started making me question.
so how will the gun shop know its a straw purchase? ive had parents come into the shop and buy guns (with a child present) is that a straw purchase?... the logic you posted is that I shouldn't sell crickets to parents, cause its a straw purchase! again how will the shop know?

Where a person purchases a firearm with the intent of making a gift of the firearm to another person, the person making the purchase is indeed the true purchaser. There is no straw purchaser
in these instances. In the above example, if Mr. Jones had bought a firearm with his own money to give to Mr. Smith as a birthday present, Mr. Jones could lawfully have completed Form 4473.
The use of gift certificates would also not fall within the category of straw purchases. The person redeeming the gift certificate would be the actual purchaser of the firearm and would be properly reflected as such in the dealer's records.
