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

The correct answer is: 21

In Vermont, the minimum age to purchase a handgun is indeed 21. This law aligns with federal regulations that also set 21 as the minimum purchase age for handguns across the United States. The rationale behind this age requirement is often tied to concerns regarding maturity, responsibility, and the potential risks associated with firearm ownership by younger individuals. Vermont has very permissive gun laws, but they adhere to the federal standard regarding the minimum age for handgun purchases. Thus, the correct answer reflects this legal framework.
