What is the minimum age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in New Hampshire?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. No minimum age requirement

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. This age requirement is in accordance with federal regulations under the Gun Control Act of 1968. It is important to note that individuals under the age of 21 are generally prohibited from purchasing handguns from licensed dealers. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the minimum age requirement set by law in New Hampshire.
