So I’m wanting to own a handgun to keep at home for defense (not carry) is there any way I can do such thing I’m 19 and definitely willing to have a parent gift me one or even build my own

When I was 19 I built my Glock clone it was quite easy and it shoots great but when it comes to god forbid actually using it in self/home defense it could become a grey area that the justice system will try to use against you, they tell you this if you ask at a self defense class. On the other hand having one gifted to you is probably the best option if you have a parent actually gift you a gun that they already had, as you may know if they buy one to then gift it to you then charges of straw purchases could arise. Whatever path you try to take, good luck and stay safe.
Would you recommend getting it registered once I turn 21 then if I did go down such path?
