In the United States, the right to own and possess a firearm is protected under the Second Amendment to the Constitution and is considered a fundamental right of all citizens. This right is subject to certain limitations which may vary by state and local laws. Generally, an individual must be at least 18 years old and cannot have been convicted of a crime that forbids gun possession, to legally possess or purchase a firearm. Additionally, some firearms such as automatic weapons, short-barreled rifles and shotguns, and armor-piercing handguns are strictly regulated. Most states require that gun owners have a license or permit to legally carry a concealed weapon. While restrictions do apply, in the majority of states, gun ownership is largely unrestricted and many citizens exercise their right to bear arms.
