Q: FOR CA FFLGUARD Q: May an employee of a licensed dealer, such as a manager or clerk, who is under 21 years of age, sell handguns and ammunition suitable for use in handguns for the licensee? ATF FAQ answer appended below. Does the same answer apply in CA? Note: It might; CA DOJ has issued HSC Instructor cards to under 21 employees with the caveat that the employee was not to perform the safe handling demonstration unless supervised by an HSC instructor age 21 or over. There are other examples of under 21 persons legally possessing handguns and handgun ammo. Found on ATF FAQ web site: https://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/licensees-conduct-of-business.html#underage-employees Q: May an employee of a licensed dealer, such as a manager or clerk, who is under 21 years of age, sell handguns and ammunition suitable for use in handguns for the licensee? Yes, if the employee is not a prohibited person (e.g., a felon). However, to sell handguns, a person less than 18 years of age must have the prior written consent of a parent or guardian and the written consent must be in the person?s possession at all times. Also, the parent or guardian giving the written consent may not be prohibited by law from possessing a firearm. Moreover, State law must not prohibit the juvenile from possessing the handguns or ammunition. [18 U.S.C. 922(x)]
