What constitutes a prohibited person from owning firearms under New Hampshire law?

  1. Anyone under 21

  2. Non-U.S. citizens

  3. Individuals convicted of a felony

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Individuals convicted of a felony

Under New Hampshire law, individuals convicted of a felony are considered prohibited persons from owning firearms. This is due to the federal law that bans felons from possessing firearms. Felons are considered to pose a high risk of committing violent crimes, and restricting their access to firearms helps enhance public safety. The other choices are not fully accurate in the context of prohibiting individuals from owning firearms.
