No person shall sell, barter, give or furnish, or cause to
be sold, bartered, given or furnished, to any minor under
eighteen years of age, firearms, cartridges, dirks, switch-blade
knives or Bowie knives, having good cause to believe such
minor to be under eighteen years of age.

The term "firearms," as used in this section, shall be construed
to include any gun, rifle or pistol adapted to the use in
any form of powder and shot (or balls) or cartridges, whether
such firearms be called "toy pistols," "toy guns," or otherwise.
