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

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. 25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

The minimum age to purchase a handgun from a licensed dealer in Indiana is 21 years old. This regulation aligns with federal law, which also sets the minimum age for purchasing handguns at 21. The rationale behind this age requirement is to ensure that individuals who are purchasing firearms have reached a level of maturity and responsibility deemed appropriate for such significant responsibilities. Additionally, this age limit helps to mitigate risks associated with gun ownership among younger individuals who may lack the life experience and decision-making maturity necessary to handle firearms safely.
