Question

Can people under 18 go to gun shows?

Answer 1

yes but you may need someone with you and you can't buy guns there. You can probably buy knives though depending on size.

Answer 2

In texas you can i go all the time

Answer 3

Certainly. They just can't buy any guns or ammo themselves.

At some shows they may be required to be accompanied by a parent or guardian, but at others this is un-necessary. Check the rules at the particular show.

Answer 4

In michigan yes.  Might have to be with someone 18 or over though

Answer 5

There is no minimun age. A lot of people bring their kids, some of whom are less than 7. Yes, I have seen toddlers waling around. Now to buy a gun you need to be at least 18. But people do sell things that are not guns at gun shows. I once saw a table selling waterford crystal (shrugs). I've seen people selling just jewwlry, art and other things I don't remember but they weren't guns.

Answer 6

consult you local police department but i think parental supervision is best even if you could go alone because guns can be dangerous in the wrong hands

Answer 7

As another answer said, Gun Shows are a family affair. We often have kids under 18 yrs old helping Dad behind the tables. They can't sell guns but they can sell accessories and many of the teenagers are very knowledgeable about the guns and equipment on the table. When my kids were 10 yrs and older they went with me (I wasn't selling but just buying) and it gave me chances to show them guns we did not have and explain the history of the guns to them. Most of the gun sellers went out of their way to show my kids the guns and tell them about the gun. They always have had good memories of the shows we have gone together to.  They are really happy when someone has a laser range set up and they  can have fun shooting at the fast flying birds and running big game with the laser. And sometimes out shoot Dad.

Answer 9

I'd hate to think they couldn't!*

Answer 10

I see tons of kids every time I go. You may have to have an adult with you, and you can't handle or buy guns on your own, but there are lots of other stuff you can.

Answer 11

Yes with an Adult they can go.They can not buy anything though.

Answer 12

Yes. Gun shows are a family event. There is nothing dangerous about them. I have no idea what Kevin7 is talking about. Some gun shows I have went to even had an airsoft section where they let kids shoot the full auto green gas airsoft guns.

Answer 13

Absolutely.*~
