Wrong !!! You can own a "Long Gun/Shotgun at 18 per ATF Regs !! State laws may intercede, but the "21" requirement only applies to "Handguns". The 21 law can be legally circumvented with a signed letter from the "Parent or Guardian" of record, authorizing the minor to have, in possesion, or use a handgun or handgun ammunition. I'll check, but I believe that the same applies to someone under 18 for Long Guns.
