In New Hampshire, what minimum age is required to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. 25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In New Hampshire, the minimum age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer is 21 years old. Option A, 18 years old, is the minimum age required to purchase a long gun, but not a handgun. Option C, 16 years old, is below the legal age limit for purchasing both handguns and long guns in New Hampshire. Option D, 25 years old, is not the minimum age requirement for purchasing a handgun in New Hampshire. Therefore, B is the correct answer.
