Hey guys and gals, I'm new to the forums, just had a quick question:
Here's the deal, I just started as a Police Officer in Wisconsin about a month and a half ago. I purchased a new Glock 21 from a buddy of mine, which is what I use on-duty. I went to look at handguns today.. Possibly looking for a Glock 36 or 30, something for off-duty.
I talked to the store owner about the possibility of purchasing a gun from him. The problem is I'm only 20 years old. The store owner tells me he's not able to sell to me til im 21. How is it that I'm able to be a Police Officer but I'm not able to buy myself a handgun to protect myself??? I know there's some deal where I can get my chief to send a letterhead to waive the whole waiting period to get the gun, and I figured the same would apply for purchasing a gun if not of age.
If any of you guys could clear up this confusion if it is possible for me to purchase another firearm that would be great. Hell, i'm 21 in a couple months but I just figured I would ask to see if this guy was right.
Thanks Again...
