What is the minimum age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Rhode Island?

18 years
21 years
25 years
No age limit

The correct answer is: 21 years

While it may seem surprising, the minimum age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Rhode Island is actually 21 years old. This is higher than the federal minimum age of 18 years old, which applies to long guns such as rifles and shotguns. It is also important to note that there is no age limit, or minimum age requirement, for possession of a handgun in Rhode Island. Therefore, choices A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect the specific requirements for purchasing a handgun in the state of Rhode Island.
