Howdy all,
Although this question pertains to C&R licensees, it's about interpreting federal law, so I figure it belongs in L&CR. Here goes.
I am a C&R licensee and I intend to sell a NON-C&R handgun, preferably in a face-to-face sale, which is legal in my home state (TX).
QUESTION #1:
TX law allows private sales of handguns to people between the ages of 18 and 21. However, 18 USC § 922(b) reads...
Cliff's Notes version: A licensee shall not sell or deliver any handgun, or ammo for a handgun, to someone under age 21.
Since the law says nothing about whether the handgun is C&R, I presume this applies to ALL handgun transfers, not just C&R transfers. Correct?
QUESTION #2: Am I required to provide a Youth Handgun Safety Act notice?
Thanks!

<emphasis mine>(b) It shall be unlawful for any licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector to sell or deliver—
(1) any firearm or ammunition to any individual who the licensee knows or has reasonable cause to believe is less than eighteen years of age, and, if the firearm, or ammunition is other than a shotgun or rifle, or ammunition for a shotgun or rifle, to any individual who the licensee knows or has reasonable cause to believe is less than twenty-one years of age...
