Hello, backstory on my self: I'm a 19 year old living on my own in an Apartment, I work for a security company in Michigan, (Eventually will return to Electrical work later this year)
I was starting to gain an interest in firearms and was curious about getting my own handgun. There is a range within 15-20 minute drive from me.
However in Michigan you need to be 21 years old to purchase a handgun through a federally licensed seller. Or 18+ if purchasing through a private seller.
My direct family is bit far left in terms of Gun Control and don't believe in the use of them other than law enforcement.
So they have declined to help me acquire a handgun (I was willing to pay in full, just would need it transferred into my name)
So my question being, how would I go about purchasing a handgun for my self if my family does not feel comfortable with helping me? (As of right now I don't know anyone close enough that could help me)
My uncle has taken me to the range with the same handgun I am trying to get, and has taught me to strip and clean it, along with a Gun Safety Training course on it. (Walther Pk 380)
However he risks my parents not speaking to him if he were to help me get one, and I'm not trying to do that to him.
I understand I could get a rifle and/or other type of firearm but I've used this handgun before and know my way around it more than I do any other firearm.
