Default Sanford Signs Bill Allowing 18-Year-Olds To Own Handguns

This one caught me by surprise. I didn't know they were debating a bill to lower the age and hadn't seen anywhere wanting it...

Quote:
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Gov. Mark Sanford has signed a bill that lowers the minimum age for South Carolina residents to own a handgun to 18.

Federal law still prohibits firearm retailers and dealers from selling handguns to people younger than 21. But the state law now allows individuals to sell handguns to anyone 18 or older.

South Carolina is one of 18 states -- and the only one in the South -- that had set 21 as the age for handgun ownership.


The new law took effect as soon as the governor signed it.

One thing that always irritated me was that they would pass a law and sometimes it would be 6 months or more before word got out to Law Enforcement... and many times it was as the result of a Cop making charges on the old law.

So I hope they notify the LEOs before one brings unnecessary poor publicity to his un-just treatment of an 18 year old
