You can arrange to buy one, and pay for it with your money, but it must be titled in the name of someone who is 18 or older.

Hmmm. I wonder when that went into effect. Sometime after 1970, for sure.

Well, there supposedly are ways to do this and gift it to the minor, but there has to be a guardian listed on the title. So basically, must be 18. Not sure if that changed after 1970 or not.

But we are off topic, so back to our regularly scheduled programming.

If I was 17 and living under my folks roof, driving a car they owned (you can't own a car at 17), and otherwise needing to go by their wishes, then that I believe that is showing respect to get their blessing for something as important as carrying a firearm.
