What is the minimum age to possess a handgun in Vermont without supervision?

  1. 16 years old

  2. 18 years old

  3. 21 years old

  4. There is no minimum age

The correct answer is: 18 years old

In Vermont, individuals under the age of 18 are generally not permitted to possess handguns without supervision. The law specifies that the minimum age to possess a handgun without any adult supervision is 18 years old. This regulation is designed to ensure that younger individuals do not have unsupervised access to firearms, which can help in promoting safety and responsible gun ownership. While it is true that there may be circumstances under which younger individuals can handle firearms (with adult supervision), the specific legal age requirement for unsupervised possession is what makes 18 the correct answer in this context. Furthermore, while there is no federal minimum age for firearm possession, individual states, like Vermont, can impose their own regulations, leading to the establishment of this 18 years requirement.
