Who is eligible to apply for a handgun license in Indiana?

  1. Any resident over 18 years of age

  2. Only military personnel

  3. Residents and non-residents with a business in Indiana

  4. Residents over 21 years of age

The correct answer is: Residents over 21 years of age

According to Indiana state laws, residents who are at least 21 years of age are eligible to apply for a handgun license. Option A is incorrect because while residents over 18 years of age may legally purchase and possess a handgun, they must be at least 21 to apply for a license. Option B is incorrect because while military personnel may receive exemptions from certain requirements, they must still meet all eligibility criteria to obtain a handgun license. Option C is incorrect because non-residents with businesses in Indiana are only eligible to apply for a long-term or lifetime license, not a regular handgun license. Therefore, the only correct option is D.
