What is the minimum age to possess and transport a handgun in Indiana without supervision?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. 25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

The correct answer is that the minimum age to possess and transport a handgun in Indiana without supervision is 18 years old. In Indiana, individuals must be at least 18 years old to legally possess a handgun on their own. This age requirement ensures that a certain level of maturity and responsibility is required for firearm ownership and handling. Younger individuals, under the age of 18, may be allowed to possess a handgun only under specific circumstances, such as being under parental supervision or using it for lawful purposes such as hunting or target practice, but they cannot legally transport it independently. The laws surrounding firearm possession are designed to ensure safety and proper handling, which is a crucial aspect of responsible gun ownership.
