What age must an individual be to legally purchase a pistol or revolver in New Hampshire?

16 years
18 years
21 years
25 years

The correct answer is: 21 years

In New Hampshire, the legal age to purchase a pistol or revolver is 21 years old. This is due to the Federal Gun Control Act, which sets the minimum age requirement for purchasing a handgun from a licensed dealer at 21 years old. Options A and D are incorrect because they are younger and older than the legal age requirement, respectively. Option B is incorrect because while 18 years old is the legal age to purchase a long gun in New Hampshire, it is not the legal age for purchasing a handgun. Therefore, the correct answer is 21 years old.
