And here is the scoop on the state of Georgia and handgun ownership or possession by someone under the age of 18...

Quote:
It is unlawful to furnish a handgun to a person under 18 and it is unlawful for a person under 18 to possess a handgun. Under the following circumstances, a parent or legal guardian may furnish, and a minor may possess, a handgun: attending a hunter education or firearms safety course; engaging in practice or target shooting at an established shooting range authorized by the jurisdiction where it is located; engaging in organized competition or practicing for a performance by a group organized under 26 U.S.C. 501 (c)(3); lawful hunting or fishing with the permission of the land owner if, whenever the handgun is loaded, it is carried only in an open and fully exposed manner; traveling to and from the above activities if the handgun is not loaded1; or on real property under the control of the minor`s parent, legal guardian or grandparent with the permission of the minor`s parent or legal guardian to possess the handgun.
