As far as the 21 to shoot and drink, in CT you can get a pistol permit at
18 but can't buy a pistol till 21.  Many people have questioned this since
why is it that it is possible for someone over 21 who may have no clue how
to handle a pistol and can't carry it anywhere but their home or a gunshop to
be able to go into a gunshop and two weeks later pick-up their gun but as an
underage permit holder with a minimum of 3 hours instruction and a state and
federal background check you can't buy one.  The lawmakers are however trying
to fix this problem by making it illegal for anyone under 21 to carry a gun.
I also have found out that here in MA you can't get a pistol permit till 21.
Just adding my $0.02 worth.
