Vermont Gun Laws & Firearms Safety Practice Exam

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

1. 16 years old

2. 18 years old

3. 21 years old

4. 25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In Vermont, the minimum age to purchase a handgun is 21 years old. This means that only individuals who are 21 years of age or older are legally allowed to purchase a handgun in the state. Option A is incorrect because 16 years old is considered underage and therefore unable to purchase a handgun. Option B is also incorrect as the legal age of adulthood in Vermont is 18 years old, which is still not the minimum age required to purchase a handgun. Option D is incorrect because 25 years old is not the legal age required to purchase a handgun in Vermont.
