What is the minimum age to purchase a handgun in Connecticut?

  1. 21 years old

  2. 18 years old

  3. 25 years old

  4. There is no minimum age

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In Connecticut, the minimum age to purchase a handgun is 21 years old. This means that individuals must be at least 21 years old to legally purchase a handgun in the state of Connecticut. Option B, 18 years old, is incorrect because that is the minimum age to purchase a long gun (e.g. rifle or shotgun) in Connecticut, not a handgun. Option C, 25 years old, is also incorrect as it is above the actual minimum age requirement. Option D, there is no minimum age, is also incorrect as there is indeed a specific minimum age in Connecticut for purchasing a handgun.
