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

  1. 16 years old

  2. 18 years old

  3. 21 years old

  4. 25 years old

The correct answer is: 18 years old

In Delaware, the minimum age to possess and transport a handgun without supervision is 18 years old. This age requirement is established to ensure that individuals have reached a level of maturity and responsibility that is generally considered necessary for the safe handling of firearms. Federal laws align with this minimum age for handgun possession, reinforcing the notion that individuals should be at least 18 to handle such firearms in most situations. Though there may be regulations on supervised possession at younger ages, independent ownership and transportation without adult supervision specifically require the individual to be 18. This framework aims to enhance public safety while still allowing for responsible gun ownership among adults.
