What is the minimum age to possess and carry a handgun in New Hampshire?

  1. 18 years

  2. 21 years

  3. 16 years

  4. There is no minimum age

The correct answer is: 18 years

In New Hampshire, the minimum age to possess and carry a handgun is 18 years old. This age requirement is set to ensure that individuals who are legally allowed to possess a handgun are mature enough to understand the responsibilities and risks associated with carrying a firearm. It is important for individuals to be of a certain age to make informed and responsible decisions when it comes to firearms. Option B, which suggests 21 years, is not the correct answer because the minimum age in New Hampshire is 18 years. Option C, stating 16 years, is incorrect as well. Option D, claiming that there is no minimum age, is also incorrect as there is a clear age requirement in place in New Hampshire for possessing and carrying handguns.
