You can open carry here at 18, minus Denver county.

thats limited to rifles and shotguns though correct?

18+ for open carry handguns, according to a pro 2A LEO I know. Not sure what the rules are on open carry of long arms outside of Nat. Forests, but I don't know why I'd be walking around with one anyway. I keep my rifle in my truck (long arms = loaded but not chambered in vehicles) but don't walk around with it.

On the subject of OC.... I've walked into Starbucks on the way up to the mountains with my .44mag sitting on my side and gotten funnier looks about ordering straight black coffee than open carrying, and I wouldn't call this a generally 2A-friendly area.

Colorado state law is 21 to purchase, possess and own a pistol. I find it funny that NY is #50... they are the supreme example of a police state. Tried to make me pay $650 for a NYS pistol permit, and without it you can't even hold a pistol at a gun store!

Colorado state law is 21 to purchase from FFL and CC a pistol.

Fixed.
18+ can buy anything private party (barring any reason they can't, i.e. felonies and such), to include handguns. Can carry anywhere, concealed or open, in their vehicle (their = they own it). Can open carry anywhere but Denver county, need to be 21 for CCW though. Can also own/posses anything other than Class 3 if purchased private party or gifted to them.

Don't have to own the vehicle. It just has to be privately owned. Same as a house or privately owned business.

Gun Crime in NY is committed 96% by Black and Latino minorities. Heard that last year on Mike Rosen's show, but its never brought up to the libs. Pretty amazing stats.

Chicago and DC guncrime has gone way down, 30%+, but again, you never hear about that (after court ruled gun laws unconstitutional)

Libs will kill ya with the altruistic nonsense

Got a source? And hopefully not the KKK website. Also maybe you could explain what that has to do with anything.

wait, so let me get this straight........

If a handgun is bought in a private sale by an 18 y/o, and stored in a private place, (home, car, private business, etc) then it is legal for said 18 y/o to own said handgun?

That would be correct I legally owned a few handguns when I was 18.

Yup, had one at 20 myself (late to the party I know)
