What age must individuals be to legally possess a firearm in New Hampshire?

18 years old
21 years old
16 years old
There is no age requirement

The correct answer is: 18 years old

In New Hampshire, individuals must be at least 18 years old to legally possess a firearm. This age requirement is in line with federal law, which prohibits individuals under the age of 18 from possessing a handgun or handgun ammunition. It is important to note that while there is a minimum age requirement for possessing a firearm, additional restrictions and regulations may apply based on the type of firearm and the specific circumstances. Option B (21 years old) is incorrect because 18 years old is the minimum age requirement in New Hampshire. Option C (16 years old) is also incorrect as it does not align with the legal age requirement for firearm possession in the state. Option D (There is no age requirement) is incorrect as there is indeed an age requirement of 18 years old in New Hampshire for possessing a firearm.
