What is the minimum age requirement to purchase a rifle or shotgun in Rhode Island?

18 years old
21 years old
16 years old
25 years old

The correct answer is: 18 years old

In Rhode Island, the minimum age requirement to purchase a rifle or shotgun is 18 years old. This means that individuals who are 18 years old or older are legally allowed to purchase a rifle or shotgun. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they all suggest an age higher than 18, which is not the minimum age requirement in Rhode Island. Option B suggests an age of 21, which is the minimum age requirement for purchasing handguns in Rhode Island, but not for rifles or shotguns. Option C suggests an age of 16, which is below the minimum age requirement for purchasing any type of firearm in Rhode Island. Option D suggests an age of 25, which is higher than the minimum age requirement for purchasing any type of firearm in Rhode Island.
