OK. This is my last post on the subject. I promise. It appears federal law does not permit the sale of rifles to those who are underage. That article is mistaken. Here is an excerpt from that NRA instructor who has been doing this since 1974.

“Irregardless, federal law supersedes state law. Federal law states you cannot sell a rifle/shotgun regardless of configuration i.e semi auto or single shot to anyone under the age of 18 and 21 for handguns. Now Arizona law, (Federal allows this too), will allow you to gift a firearm to anyone under the legal purchase age with the written permission from BOTH parents or legal Guardian(s). Rifles and handguns can be possessed in the field hunting by youth and age depends on their attendance of a hunter safety course”

So someone screwed up in a big way. Those dumbass reporters should of checked their sources. I now will return to the original programming of this thread.
