What is the minimum age for purchasing a handgun in Delaware?

  1. 18 years old

  2. 21 years old

  3. 16 years old

  4. 25 years old

The correct answer is: 21 years old

In Delaware, the minimum age to purchase a handgun is 21 years old. This regulation aligns with federal law, which also sets the age at 21 for purchasing handguns from a licensed dealer. The age requirement is part of broader efforts to ensure that individuals who acquire handguns have reached a level of maturity that is deemed necessary for the responsibilities of gun ownership, including understanding laws, safety protocols, and the implications of using a firearm. The regulations emphasize that younger individuals may not yet be fully equipped to handle the responsibilities associated with firearm ownership, which is why there are age restrictions in place.
