21 years old
16 years old
No minimum age

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 regulation is designed to ensure that individuals who purchase handguns have reached a level of maturity and are legally allowed to own such firearms. This age requirement aligns with federal laws, which also stipulate that individuals must be at least 21 to buy handguns from federally licensed dealers. While some states may have different requirements or exceptions, in Vermont, the minimum age of 21 is strictly enforced, highlighting the importance of responsible gun ownership and ensuring that handguns are acquired by individuals who are legally recognized as adults.
