Like C-dub said, I do not believe it would be lawful for a 17 year old to possess a firearm (outside of the legal exceptions). However if the young man is indeed 18 (perhaps you gauged his age wrong), then it would be lawful for him to carry under the authority of the MPA (assuming he meets all the other statutory requirements)Federal law prohibits Federal firearms licensees from selling or delivering any firearm or ammunition to any individual who the licensee knows or has reasonable cause to believe is less than 18 years of age
Additionally, it generally is unlawful for a person to transfer a handgun to a juvenile (a person less than 18 years of age) and it generally is unlawful for a juvenile to possess a handgun. Exceptions are provided for the transfer of a handgun to and possession by a juvenile for the purposes of employment, ranching, farming, target practice or hunting as provided for in 18 U.S.C. 922(x).
