At what age can an individual apply for a concealed carry permit in Delaware?

18 years
19 years
21 years
25 years

The correct answer is: 21 years

The correct age to apply for a concealed carry permit in Delaware is 21 years. This aligns with both the state's laws and federal regulations, which generally establish 21 as the minimum age for purchasing a handgun from a licensed dealer. The age requirement is in place to ensure that individuals have reached a level of maturity and responsibility deemed appropriate for carrying a concealed firearm. The options that reflect ages younger than 21 are not in accordance with the law governing concealed carry permits in Delaware. Consequently, individuals at those ages do not have the legal standing to apply for such permits, reinforcing the importance of the 21-year minimum for both applicants and those who wish to acquire firearms.
