Vermont Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

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

1. 18 years

2. 21 years

3. 16 years

4. 25 years

The correct answer is: 21 years

The minimum age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Vermont is 21 years. This is because the federal law requires all licensed dealers to comply with the minimum age requirement of 21 years for purchasing a handgun. Although 18 years may be the legal age to purchase a rifle or shotgun in Vermont, it does not apply to the purchase of handguns from licensed dealers. Similarly, 16 and 25 years are also not valid as the minimum age for purchasing a handgun from a licensed dealer in Vermont.
