When I was 18 years old in CA I walked into a Western Auto and walked out with a 12ga shotgun.

You still can...in the United States.

In CA today....... all sales thru FFL, no face to face private party transfers. Handgun registration, long gun registration, special AW registration, 10 day wait and this ist goes on.

When I was you, you could mail-order guns from Sears.
