My name is Zachary Tarlow and I am 20 years old, a few days ago I tried to sell some silver coins at a pawn shop. I negotiated the terms with the pawnbroker and was all set to make a deal, but when he looked at my ID, he said that I had to be at least 21 years old to sell something to a pawn shop in Suffolk County. I do not see how this makes any sense, in neighboring Nassau County the minimum age is 18, but in Suffolk County, the age is 21. This is government overreach in my opinion. At age 18 I can open a bank account, buy a lottery ticket, and join the military to fight for my country, but I can't pawn something in Suffolk County. This law hurts pawn shops, and does not help anyone. Before you think anything about how selling something to a pawn shop is a bad way to get money, let me just say that I should have the right to engage in a voluntary, free market transaction, without the government setting arbitrary age limits.
