Happy birthday and congrats on having enough money.
A Mossberg Persuader is an EXCELLENT choice for a first gun. Actually, it was my first gun when I turned 18 too!
All you need is a VA driver’s license which is more than 30 days old, and you need a secondary form of ID with proof of address on it… A utility bill with your name on it, car registration with you name on it, or, best of all, a hunting/fishing license with your name on it. Cell phone bill won’t work. You can get the hunting/fishing license from any sporting goods store for like $15. Once you have the DL and 2nd form of ID, you walk in, fill out the paperwork, then buy what you want. Enjoy!

Good gun. You need a clean record,A Drivers License or Government issued picture ID and a way to pay for it.

You have to be 18 which you say you are, not be convicted of any felonies, and your drivers license and a utility bill.

No felonies on your record, a state ID, and money.
On the form you must fill out you need to spell out "yes" or "no" on the questions they ask, you can’t just put "Y" or "N". They also ask for your SSN but that is optional and I don’t reccomend doing so.
