So, after looking around, I'm still as stuck as when I started.

This is in CALIFORNIA.

My buddy (18 years old) just had his mom buy a Glock 22. Then, after the waiting period, they picked it up at the gun store, and filled out some kinda form that transferred the handgun into his name.

He legally now owns a handgun at 18, even though the law is 21.

Can someone explain if this is actually legal, or a fluke, a loophole, or whatever? Can he be arrested for it?

Thanks.
