What age must individuals be to legally possess a handgun in Vermont?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. There is no age restriction

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In Vermont, individuals must be at least 16 years old to legally possess a handgun. Therefore, option 21 years old is not correct because it sets the age requirement higher than what the state law dictates. While it's important to understand that federal law imposes certain restrictions on the purchase of handguns, Vermont's state laws allow for possession at a younger age under specific circumstances. The correct answer reflects Vermont's more permissive stance on firearm possession for young individuals compared to some other states.
