Beretta Cx4 Storm

[mchinea74]

Curious if the law of being 18 for a rifle and 21 for handguns restricts a pistol caliber carbine to 21 and above. Very interested in the Cx4, though I know for many people it’s a strange and clunky weapon. Sorry for so many threads, just never had anywhere to talk about these things besides r/firearms.

Just because you have to be 21 to commercially buy one doesn't mean you have to be 21 to own one. There's a huge difference. And if you do get one while you're under 21, you'll have to talk your friends into buying your ammo, because you can't buy that until you're 21 either.

If it’s a rifle it’s a rifle no matter the ammunition. As said though buying handgun ammunition under 21 is the problem.

I dunno how it is here, because I didn't grow up here but...

Every retailer of ammo I used before would sell pistol ammo to 18+ year olds so long as you advised them "this is for a long gun" - they might sometimes probe a bit, and ask what long gun it was for, but in the end they'd all sell it to you.

True, because it's the same case with 22 long rifle ammunition.
Of course, some places will probably just say, "no". It's going to be up to the retailer, and you're going to have better luck at some of the smaller, independently run gun stores than the big box places (where the clerk probably doesn't know or care about the law, only about corporate policy).

It is considered a long gun. As such it is legal to purchase at age 18.
Some stores have a policy of not selling to under 21.
It is store boolchit. Not the law.

They used to ask me me - rifle or handgun?- every time I bought .22 rounds. They never did ask if I was 18.......

I’ve actually been able to pick up 9mm without a single issue, so good there.

They didn’t even ask :/ I’ve been able to stock on 9mm no problem
