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

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. 25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In Louisiana, the minimum age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer is 21 years old. Option A is incorrect because 18 is the minimum age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in most states, but not in Louisiana. Option C and D are also incorrect because they exceed the minimum age requirement in Louisiana. It is important to note that this age requirement may vary for private gun sales and exceptions may apply for those under 21 who are in the military or law enforcement.
