Minimum age to sell a gun?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Does Tennessee have any kind of law regarding a minimum age to sell a gun? I ask because one of our helpers at the gun show this weekend is the 12 year old grand daughter. The young lady is sharp as a tack and I trust her completely. However, I wouldn't want to run afoul of the law by accident.

Specifically handguns, but probably stricter than the rifle law. Not sure if you are a "licensee" or jyst private seller.

"May a licensee employ an individual who is less than 21 years of age if the licensee sells handguns and ammunition suitable for use in handguns?

 

Yes. An individual less than 21 years of age may sell handguns and ammunition suitable for use in handguns. However, a person less than 18 years of age must have the prior written consent of a parent or guardian and the written consent must be in the person’s possession at all times. Also, the parent or guardian giving the written consent may not be prohibited by law from possessing a firearm. Moreover, State law must not prohibit a person less than 18 years of age from possessing the handguns or ammunition.

We're just private sellers. Her Mother and Grandmother will be right there with us. So we should be good. Being as smart as she is, I'm thinking of just putting her in charge of keeping up with the money. ;)

Thanks.
