So what about an 18 year old that rushes out this afternoon and buys a rifle? Will they be grandfathered in or become criminals overnight?

How about private sellers? Are they suppose to start "carding" potential buyers that look like they might be under 21?

What if an 18 year old buys a rifle in Georgia or Alabama from a private seller and brings it into the state?

Possession is not affected, so yes they would be grandfathered in.

They were supposed to do that for those who looked under 18 for rifles, and under 21 for handguns already.

It is already against Federal law for ANYONE to make a face-to-face purchase of a firearm outside of your home state. The only place one can legally purchase (and take delivery of) long guns outside of their home state is from an FFL. An out-of-state FFL must determine that the long gun sale would be legal in the buyer's home state, which after this bill is signed into law, would not be. Out of state handgun sales must be shipped to an FFL in the buyer's home state for delivery to the purchaser.
