Correct me if I'm wrong. Comments, suggestions, free Resse's Pieces. So from my understanding.... You have to be 21 to buy a handgun from a licensed FFL. That's the long and short of Federal stuff. VA law says a person that is 18-20 can buy a handgun privately or be gifted one. As long as they're a VA resident, not prohibited in any way, etc. Now I've always sold all my private guns to people 21 or older. VA DL, .mil ID, CHL, etc to prove residency and non-prohibited status. I've used to take voter ID cards readily, but tend to back of those after T-Mac did his thing not to long ago with restoring felon voting rights. What are folks general feelings on person's under 21 buying handguns from private sellers here. And besides voter ID cards, are there other options to help establish non-prohibited status that I'm missing? Obviously someone under 21 won't have a CHL and may not be in the military (yes the military can wave felony covictions. But it's often an enlistment killer). Just looking for a sounding board. Obviously, it's my gun and it's my choice how to proceed, legally. Thanks.

It's your property and your right to sell as you see fit. Now, I expect you to support Dick's Sporting Goods in their decisions, otherwise you are a hypocrite. That's just my opinion.
As far as checking legality of the buyer, I've never asked for a CHP or voter card. I can find out a decent amount from a person's name and contact information, so I know ahead of time instead of waiting until we meet up.

I don't understand why people treat handguns and long guns differently.
