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. 25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In Vermont, the minimum age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer is 21 years old. This is stated in the state's gun control laws, specifically in their Firearm Prohibitions and Restrictions section. Option A, 18 years old, may be the correct minimum age to purchase a handgun in other states, but not in Vermont. Option C, 16 years old, is typically the minimum age to obtain a hunting license in Vermont, but this does not apply to purchasing a handgun. Option D, 25 years old, is not a commonly used minimum age for purchasing handguns in any state. Overall, the correct minimum age to purchase a handgun in Vermont is 21 years old.
