What is the minimum age to possess and transport a handgun in Delaware without supervision?

  1. 18 years

  2. 19 years

  3. 21 years

  4. 25 years

The correct answer is: 21 years

In Delaware, the minimum age to possess and transport a handgun without supervision is 21 years old. This is because in the state's firearms laws, it is stated that a person must be at least 21 years old to obtain a handgun license and/or to purchase a handgun. Option A is incorrect because 18 years old is the minimum age to purchase a long gun in Delaware. Option B is incorrect because there is no special provision for 19-year-olds in Delaware's firearms laws. Option D is incorrect because it is above the minimum age to obtain a handgun license and purchase a handgun in Delaware.
