What age must a person be to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Vermont?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. 25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In Vermont, the legal age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer is 21 years old. This age restriction is in line with federal regulations which mandate that individuals must be at least 21 to buy handguns from licensed dealers. While individuals may have the ability to possess firearms at younger ages under certain circumstances, the specific age requirement for purchasing handguns ensures that only adults reach this level of responsibility and maturity associated with the ownership of such firearms. This law aims to promote safety and accountability in firearm transactions.
