Have to be 21 yrs old to purchase a rifle?

[kenpoace]

saw an ad for the browning bar hog stalker and said must be 21 yrs old to purchase

I thought you could buy a rifle in texas when you are 18 yrs old?????

Heard something similar from Academy Sports.

21yrs old to purchase semi auto EBR's. 18yrs old can purchase Fudd rifles.

Store policy. NOT law.

18 to own a rifle or handgun.

Must be 21 to purchase a handgun or 18 for a rifle from an FFL.

Nothing in Texas law other than not being a minor in possession of a firearm.

Stores like Acadamy sometimes places in house rules on who they sell to.

As a general rule I tend to stay away from Academy for firearms-related things. Nothing to do with store policy or anything, just prefer to go to other places.

we take an above and beyond the law standing when it comes to particular firearms simply because as a very vocal pro firearms rights voice, Mr Carter has been an easy target for those opposing those all important rights. Frankly this way no way can even think of using modern sporting rifles and the fact we sell & love them against us in any way.

Right?

18 y/o for a rifle or shotgun. Not state law -- Federal dictate.

Firearms sales ought to be left to the States. Nothing in the Constitution gives the Federal Government the power to regulate gun sales within the States.

10th Amendment + 2nd Amendment.

if you look under the rifle you will see where it says must be 21 to buy

Did you think we didn't believe you were told that?
