Eligibility to own a firearm varies by country, state, and jurisdiction. In the United States, for example, federal law sets some basic criteria for firearm ownership, but individual states may have additional requirements. Here are some common eligibility factors that may apply:
Age: In the U.S., you generally must be at least 18 years old to purchase a long gun (e.g., rifle or shotgun) and at least 21 years old to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer. Some states may have higher age requirements.
Citizenship or Legal Residency: In the U.S., you must be a U.S. citizen or a legal resident to purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer. Non-U.S. citizens, including those on certain visas, may have restrictions or additional requirements.
Criminal History: Individuals with certain felony convictions are typically prohibited from owning firearms. Misdemeanor convictions for domestic violence can also result in restrictions.
Mental Health: People who have been adjudicated as mentally ill, involuntarily committed to a mental institution, or deemed mentally incompetent by a court are generally prohibited from owning firearms.
Protective Orders: Individuals subject to certain restraining orders or protective orders may be prohibited from possessing firearms.
Substance Abuse: Persons who are unlawfully using or addicted to controlled substances are generally ineligible to purchase firearms.
Military Discharge: Certain dishonorable discharges from the military can result in firearm ownership restrictions.
Citizenship Status: Non-immigrant visa holders, illegal immigrants, and those with renounced U.S. citizenship are generally ineligible to purchase firearms.
Domestic Violence: Convictions or restraining orders related to domestic violence can lead to restrictions on firearm ownership.
