Okay - so what's the scoop on this. I go into my local shop to shoot, and there's a sign that says anyone under the age of 21 in posession of a handgun is in violation of state law. It doesn't say anything about being supervised or not, so I assume that if you have a legal guardian/parent with you it's okay.
I went and looked up the laws at the CO Burea of Investigations website and the only relevant statute I could come up with was 18-12-108.5. Possession of handguns by juveniles - prohibited - exceptions - penalty. It just goes on about those under 18, but nothing about 18-21 yr olds.
Any clarification on this? I'm old enough that I don't need to worry about this (by about 10 years), but my nephew is 18 and I wonder what the restrictions are for him....
Thanks.
