Summary
In Georgia, private sales of handguns between individuals are generally allowed, but federal law prohibits transferring a handgun to anyone under 21 years old. A 19-year-old cannot legally purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer but may possess one if gifted by a family member or acquired through inheritance. The use of a firearm in self-defense is justified if necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm, but it must be proportionate to the threat. Gifting firearms to individuals aged 18-20 is limited by federal law, which prohibits gifting handguns to those under 21, though long guns can be gifted to those over 18. Always ensure the recipient is legally allowed to possess firearms.Full Conversation
