buy 9mm ammunition

cpickard2790 · 03-08-2008, 08:30 PM

I just turned 18 not to along and was thinking about buying a 9mm Beretta CX4. The only problem is I don't know if I will be able to buy the ammunition for it since I am only 18, even if I do tell them it is for a rifle. I live in NC. I have tried asking a few places close by, but they told me they where not quite sure. Just wondering if anybody could clear this up for me. Thank you.

If your not able to legally own the gun yet, you should be doing your pistol shooting under adault supervision. Not saying it's fair. I have a 19 yr old, I know it's a tough age society says your an adault,........but.

Yep, old enough to die for your country, but not old enough to own a handgun or buy ammo or have a beer...go figure (at least when I was 18-20 we could buy 3.2 beer...

No matter what it is supposed to be for no one under 21 can buy pistol ammo. I agree. Unfair but true.

CPickard -- there is one way around this -- look into learning about reloading and making your own 9mm its legal for you to buy components and assemble them for your carbine

The law in most states (if not all), is 21+ for pistol ammo. You could probably get away with it at wal-mart...I was asked if my 30-06 ammo was for a handgun.
