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

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. There is 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 aligns with federal law, which establishes 21 as the minimum age for purchasing handguns from licensed dealers across the United States. It is important to note that individual states may have their own laws regarding the ownership and purchase of firearms, but in Vermont, as it is in many other states, the 21-year minimum is a legal requirement that adheres to the federal guidelines. Understanding this age restriction is crucial for responsible gun ownership and transaction compliance.
