I understand, but he told me it was illegal for me to even touch the gun in the store without parental supervision. I wasn't trying to purchase it, I was simply looking. I'm fairly well versed in Maine and Federal gun laws, more so than most gun owners.

I live in Maine. According to state law, at 18 you can sell, purchase, possess, carry openly, and, with a permit, carry concealed a handgun. I know that minors cannot handle long guns without an adult present. I know that I can't purchase a handgun from a FFL.
