It is an offense, except under certain circumstances, to possess a sawed-off rifle or a sawed-off shotgun. |

A handgun transfer certificate cannot be issued to a person who is under 21 years of age or whose purchase or possession of a handgun would be in violation of applicable Federal, State, or local law.
