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

18 years old
21 years old
16 years old
25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

The minimum age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Vermont is 21 years old. This requirement is aligned with federal law, which stipulates that purchasers must be at least 21 to buy handguns from federally licensed dealers. States often follow these federal guidelines to ensure consistent regulations regarding firearm purchases. While individuals may be allowed to possess or use handguns at younger ages in certain contexts, the specific stipulation about purchasing from a licensed dealer sets the age at 21. Regulations can differ for long guns and private sales, but the purchasing age for handguns remains firmly at 21 in Vermont.
