i have asked this question before and researched it, i was in the same boat until about a month ago when i turned 21 now doesn't matter.

what i did was just print out the federal and local State laws. i had one copy in my range back/ car just in case i got stopped by an officer not aware of the laws or if i ever got into a snag so i could plead my case. never needed them, but what i did just in case.

what people have posted above is true you can possess and purchase a Handgun between the ages of 18-20 from a Private sale that is if the person is willing too. FFLs have to sell to a person who is 21 and older including ammo for handguns and so on what other people have stated and so i just started reloading around 18 since well you can buy the components at 18. that is what i did at the time.
