Just went through this for my son. In Colorado you can own and open carry a pistol when you reach 18. You can't buy a pistol from a dealer until 21. And this just came from a deputy today talking to a atf agent, you can buy a pistol from a private individual when 18, just not a dealer. We were trying to find out if my son (18) could have our suppressor on the 308 while pig hunting in TX where we often split up ( the answer was yes he can have it as he is on the trust). Most of the laws are specific to purchasing, not owning. You are definately good to go. Don't conceal it though, can't do that until 21. Good luck hunting.
