What age must one be to possess and transport an unloaded rifle or shotgun in a vehicle in New Hampshire?

  1. 18 years or older

  2. 21 years or older

  3. 16 years or older

  4. There is no age requirement

The correct answer is: 18 years or older

In New Hampshire, the minimum age requirement to possess and transport an unloaded rifle or shotgun in a vehicle is 18 years old. This is because at 18 years old, an individual is considered an adult and is allowed to own and possess firearms. Option B is incorrect because while 21 years old is the legal age to purchase and possess a handgun in New Hampshire, it is not necessary for the possession and transportation of rifles and shotguns. Option C is incorrect because while an individual can legally purchase and possess a rifle or shotgun at 16 in New Hampshire, they are not allowed to transport it in a vehicle until they are 18. Option D is incorrect, as there is indeed a minimum age requirement in New Hampshire for possessing and transporting an unloaded firearm in a vehicle.
